Labat Takes Small Pot From Jeschka

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Hannes Jeschka
Hannes Jeschka

Antoine Labat raised to 2,100 from middle position and Hannes Jeschka called from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and action was heads up.

The flop was {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Labat bet 1,600 to a quick fold from Jeschka.

Jeschka is fresh off of winning a Platinum Pass at EPT London in October, even though he had no idea it would be one of the prizes when he signed up for the £3,000 Mystery Bounty. The lucky drum-pull secured him a trip to the Bahamas in January for the PokerStars Players Poker Championship.

Elsewhere in the room, Hossein Ensan has chipped up over the 80,000 mark.
