Lappin Left Out in the Cold

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

PokerNews caught up with David K.Lappin after he busted a short while ago.

His day was going really well at the second break when he reached a day-high 65,000, but from there not a lot went right for the Irishman.

He had is aces cracked by a Spanish opponent holding five-six off suit in a four-bet pot. Then just before the break a five-bet pot left him crippled.

There was a cut-off raise to 825 that K.Lappin three-bet to 1,775 from the button. The small blind then decided to cold four-bet to 4,200 and this was enough to force out the original raiser but not k.Lappin who five-bet all in for 28,000 with ace-king. His opponent called all for 24,000 with pocket tens and held on a queen high board.

After the dinner break he shoved twice and was called the second time. His pocket nines were no match for an opponents aces.

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Jonathan Duhamel
Jonathan Duhamel

Jonathan Duhamel has doubled up through Antoine Labat after shoving on the turn in a hand.

They were heads-up and 19,000 had made it into the middle when the board read {2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. The Team PokerStars Pro shoved for his last 13,900 with {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and was called by the Frenchman holding {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

The river came {k-Hearts} and Duhamel raked in the chips.

Who Needs a Safety Annette?

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

In a four-way pot, the flop of {6-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} was checked around to Barny Boatman who bet 1,500. Rudy Blondeau called in the big blind, Annette Obrestad called from UTG and Steve Jelinek folded.

The {2-Diamonds} saw Blondeau check, Obrestad lead for 3,500 and the Hendon Mobster quickly got out of the way. Blondeau made the call again to see the {3-Hearts} on the river before opting to check a third time. Obrestad pushed out 8,000 and this time it was enough to make Blondeau fold.

Nielsen and Stuer Getting in On

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Rasmus Nielsen and Julian Stuer have just had a little tete-a-tete and it was the Dane left nursing the bruises.

We caught the action with Rasmus Nielsen in the hijack with a bet of 4,150 in front of him and Stuer was making it 6,725 from the small blind. Nielsen made the call and the pair were soon staring at a flop of {J-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {2-Hearts}. Stuer made a teeny-weeny c-bet of 4,000 and Nielsen made the call.

The turn card was the {9-Hearts} and Stuer dumped 20,500 over the line (leaving himself 400 behind) and Nielsen looked sick. After a momentary pause he mucked his hand and Stuer took the chips.

Nielsen ~ 19,000.

Selbst With the Check Raise; Visser Joins The Table

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

The board was showing {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts} when Vanessa Selbst check-raised Georgios Theodorou. The price to pay was 8,200 and he duly paid it. The turn card brought the {5-Spades} out to play and a 9,400 bet sent the chips tumbling into the direction of Selbst.

Ruben Visser has been moved to the Selbst table and is sitting on an impressive looking 80,000.
