Bevand Hooks the Fisherman

Manuel Bevand
Manuel Bevand

Ruben Visser was in early position, and he came in raising to 750. Around in the small blind, Manuel Bevand three-bet to 2,650, and Visser clicked it back. He actually under-raised to 4,400, and he was forced to make it 4,550. Bevand responded with an all-in shove for 14,050, and Visser quickly called with the {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}. He was well behind the Frenchman's {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}.

The board ran {9-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {5-Spades} {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts} to double Bevand back to starting stack, while Visser is crippled all the way down to just 6,800.

Jaka It Up

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jacob Rasmussen raised to 700 UTG and got called by Faraz Jaka and Jeffrey Rossiter in the blinds.

All three checked the {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop before it was checked to Rasmussen on the {Q-Spades} turn and he bet 1,500, Jaka check-raised to 4,000. Rossiter folded and Rasmussen shot Jaka a glance before making the call to see the {4-Diamonds} river.

Jaka now led out for 12,000 and Rasmussen looked for all intents and purposes as though he would call but instead he ended up mucking his hand.

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.

Nitsche Gets it In

Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

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.
