Macnamara Gets Lucky Against Vogelsang

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Christoph Vogelsang

Fionn Macnamara was down to 12 big blinds and was sat in the small blind. With no action in front, he shipped against his neighbour, Christoph Vogelsang, who had him covered by a whisker. Vogelsang made the call and when the cards were turned over, the Brit needed a lot of help against the German.

Fionn Macnamara: {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Christoph Vogelsang: {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Macnamara didn't have to wait long, pairing his three on the {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop. Another {3-Spades} on the turn locked it up, rendering the {a-Hearts} river irrelevant.

The chips were shipped over to Macnamara and it looked like Vogelsang was left with 5,500 but a mistake meant that Macnamara had been shortchanged and it was Vogelsang who realised first, passing over another 2,000 to his neighbor. "Very honest" commended the dealer.

The next hand Vogelsang got his last 3,500 in from the small blind after Macnamara opened the button and the big blind called as well. The {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} was checked to the river and Vogelsang turned over {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, which was good for a triple up. He is still in trouble though with only 6 big blinds to play with.
