Duhamel Doubles on the Feature Table

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Jonathan Duhamel
Jonathan Duhamel

Over at the feature table, there was 114,600 in the pot and a board reading {2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} when Tobias Reinkemeier moved all in to put the pressure on Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel, who had 74,400 behind. The Canadian shrugged and dropped in his chips.

"You've got it," a sheepish Reinkemeier said. Given it was an all-in situation all cards had to be tabled. Reinkemeier then showed the {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}, which wasn't good enough to beat Duhamel's {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.

Chewy on That

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Andrew Lichtenberger
Andrew Lichtenberger

Erik Seidel isn’t having much luck with his min bets pre flop, and so he again faced a raise after opening to 3,000. This time it was Andrew Lichtenberger, Lucy Chewy online, who made it 7,500 from the cut off. Jean-Noel Thorel called from the button and the blinds and Seidel floded. They saw a flop of {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Lichtenberger continued for 15,000 getting a call from Thorel. The turn was the {2-Spades} and this time a bet of 42,000 was something Thorel was not prepared to swallow and he folded his cards.

Sternheimer Busts Yong

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Richard Yong
Richard Yong

Richard Yong has busted at the hands of Philip Sternheimer. According to Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier, here's what happened.

Jeff Rossiter raised from under the gun, Sternheimer called from the next seat, and Yong called from the big blind. The flop came down {5-}{3-}{2-} with two spades, and Yong checked. Rossiter bet 9,500, and Sternheimer called. Yong check-raised to 30,000, then Rossiter folded. Sternheimer called.

The turn was an offsuit {4-}, and Yong bet 60,000. Sternheimer raised to 131,000, and Yong tank-shoved. Yong was all in for right around 200,000, and Sternheimer quickly made the call.

Sternheimer had turned a straight with pocket sixes while Yong had flopped a set of threes. The river didn't pair the board in Yong's favor when a {Q-} fell, and he was eliminated.

Immediately, Yong wanted to re-enter and was waving his credit card around in the air in his seat, wanting to re-enter into the same seat. Unfortunately for him, he had to go over to the registration desk, re-enter for another €50,000, and was awarded a new seat, not the same one he busted from. Meanwhile, Sternheimer collected the pot and moved to 585,000 in chips.

Table 6 Opened

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

A new table has been opened up here at the Casino Barcelona. In one of the first hands at that table, defending champ Dan Smith raised to 7,000 under the gun and received calls from Paul Newey and Richard Yong, who were in the small and big blinds respectively.

All three players then checked the {2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, the dealer burned and turned the {K-Diamonds} and Newey led out for 25,000. Yong quickly folded and Smith did the same. It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us the perfect excuse to update you on Table 6.

"Re-Buying"

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Tobias Reinkemeier
Tobias Reinkemeier

With 35,900 in the pot and a board reading {2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{k-Hearts} Tobias Reinkemeier checked from the big blind and Steven Silverman, who was in early position, bet 18,200. Reinkemeier thought for a bit before announcing that he was all in for 64,400 and Silverman snap-called.

Silverman: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Reinkemeier: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}

"Re-buying," Reinkemeier announced even before the {3-Spades} was put out on the river. "See you guys later," Reinkemeier said before making his way to the registration desk.

Thorel Bites Back

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel
Jean-Noel Thorel

Andrew Lichtenberger opened from the button to 7,500 and got two callers in the blinds, Jean-Noel Thorel and Daniel Alaei. The three players saw a flop of {2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Thorel led out for 10,000, a line he had been frequently taking and had been frequently looked up. Alaei didn’t want to play but Lichtenberger made the call. A turn card {j-Spades} and Thorel continued to represent a hand, 25,000 was the price. Too much for Lichtenberger who folded. Thorel elected to show his cards this time, {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}.
