Full Double for The Rhino

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Govert Metaal limped in under the gun and action folded to Adam Milewski who made it 5,300 from middle position. After a couple of folds it was Reino "The Rhino" Rasmussen who pushed all in from the small blind for 33,600. The big blind and Metaal quickly folded, Milewski instantly called.

Reino Rasmussen: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Adam Milewski: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

The flop came {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Rasmussen fist pumped a little. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn and {9-Diamonds} on the river were blanks and Rasmussen found the much needed double up.

De Meulder Chips Up

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Matthias De Meulder just saw Viktors Vorobjovs raise from the hijack to 3,400 and he responded by three-betting to 8,800 from the button.

The action folded back to Vorobjovs who made it 18,700, and De Meulder called.

The flop brought out {K-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and both players took their time before ultimately checking. On the turn the {Q-Hearts} hit and Vorobjovs checked again, which lead De Meulder to betting 19,500. This was enough to take the pot down and De Meulder now sits on about 117,000.

Van Der Merwe Over Haxton

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Isaac Haxton and Neil Van Der Merwe took a flop of {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} in a raised pot. Haxton checked the flop and Van Der Merwe fired out a bet of 3,400. Haxton called to see fourth street.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and Haxton tapped the table for a second time. Van Der Merwe did the same and the board paired on the river with the {a-Clubs}. Haxton bet 6,800, Van Der Merwe called, and Haxton showed {q-Spades}{8-Spades} for aces and eights. They were no good, however, as Van Der Merwe held {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for trip aces. With this hit, the PokerStars Team Online Pro's stack has dropped to about 83,000.

De Meulder the Big Stack

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Matthias De Meulder
Matthias De Meulder

You sometimes hear of a special connection twins have with each other where the one feels if something really good or bad is happening with his or hers brother or sister. If that's the case for the Belgian PokerStars Team Pro's Matthias and Christophe De Meulder, the latter must have felt something good a couple of minutes ago.

Matthias De Meulder isn't joined by his twin brother Christophe here in Barcelona, but so far the day has been pretty great for Matthias. He just told us about a hand where a player opened for 3,500 before the break. The player on the button made the call, the small blind added some chips, and De Meulder with the {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} in the big blind called as well.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} and the small blind and De Meulder checked. The initial raiser made a bet of 6,500 and the player on the button made the call. The small blind folded, De Meulder called.

An off suit {6-} fell on the turn giving De Meulder a straight. The Belgian Team Pro checked his option and saw the initial raiser bet 15,000 with 65,000 behind. The button called and De Meulder shoved all in, putting both his opponents to the test. The initial raiser called, the button folded.

De Meulder had to dodge board pair outs as the initial raiser had pocket fours. The river {9-} was a blank and De Meulder could start stacking.
