Sootla Runs Bad

Christian Zetzsche

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Ranno Sootla got into a raising war with Dan Serban Borlan and both had near-identical stacks with the former at risk for 27,000 in a battle cutoff versus big blind

Ranno Sootla:
Dan Serban Borlan:

Sootla was in prime position for a double but that all changed on the flop as Borlan improved to a pair of aces. The turn came a blank, as did the river, sending Sootla to the rail.

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Clement Richez had just lost a substantial pot to Benjamin Saada to propel his fellow countryman to the 100,000-chips mark and had now called the all-in of Oleg Drews on the button while he was in the big blind.

Oleg Drews:
Clement Richez:

The board ran out for Drews to hit the turn for two pair and the double-up.

"Don't lose all the chips! I need you to give me some." Ionel Anton commented.

Chris Da-Silva immediately jumped to Richez defense and told Anton off. "Show some respect, he just lost two hands."

A small discussion followed which also ended quite soon with Anton a lot quieter now at the table.
