That's the Thing About Poker Tournaments, They Keep On Busting

Ruben Vissing Some Chips

Ruben Visser

Ruben Visser came along to tell a Dutch colleague of ours that he busted. I didn't understand a word of the funny language he was speaking but I got the details after.

He folded for an hour before he shoved his last 4,000 in from the cut off with ace-queen. The big blind called with king-ten and flopped a king to end it for the Dutchman.

Looks Like the Run Good Keeps on Giving to O'Dwyer

Nice Life
Nice Life

We've written many-a-time recently that there are not many hotter players in the poker world than Steve O'Dwyer right now, and this world of ours keeps on giving to him. Actually this last time it was Diogo Veiga, specifically, who made a deposit.

I saw a big pile of blue 5k chips and the all-in triangle out in front of O'Dwyer and rushed over to see what was happening. I needn't have rushed as it took another ten minutes from that point for any more action to occur.

The river had been dealt to leave a {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds} board and around 38,000 had made it into the middle. O'Dywer was up against Diogo Veiga and put him to the test by shoving for 39,000. Veiga had 27,000 back and eventually made a hero call with {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

"Flush," said the American and tabled {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} before scooping.

Nitsche Gets it In

When we walked up to the table, Dominik Nitsche had a five-bet of 10,500 out in front of his stack in position, and Jochum Weenink had six-bet shoved. Nitsche snapped, and he rolled over the {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}, much to the disappointment of the Dutchman. Weenink could only show up {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}, and he'd not catch up. The board ran out {2-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {7-Spades} {J-Diamonds}, and Nitsche has found his double.

We couldn't resist this photo. Find out the story behind it in The Muck.

Chip Counts

Rasmussen Feels More Jaka Pain

Faraz Jaka has position on his side when he took another pot off Jacob Rasmussen.

Jaka Opened his button and Rasmussen peeled from the big blind to see an {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop. Jaka bet 1,100 here and 3,100 on the {2-Clubs} turn and the Dane check-called both bets. The final card was the {q-Diamonds} and Jaka emptied the clip with a 7,2000 bet after Rasmussen checked to him for a third time. Fold.
