Chip and a Chair for Gumz

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

On the tail end of a medium-sized pot between Fabian Gumz and Tsugunari Toma, the former bet 21,700 with a single chip behind on the {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} river. Toma, no longer the biggest stack on the table, tanked for a while and then made the call.

Gumz confidently rolled over his {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and that ended up second-best to the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} of Toma.

"So confident," another player at the table remarked and Gumz replied "it looked like a flush to me". The German has one single chip behind for a miracle comeback.

Schemion Hero-Calls Correctly

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

In a limped pot in a battle of the blinds, the {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop went check, check, between Alexandre Reard and Ole Schemion. Reard then bet the {k-Spades} turn for 1,000 and Schemion called.

The {8-Clubs} river was bet by Reard once more for 2,600 and Schemion with a short stack of 8,600 behind eventually called. Reard exposed the {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for air and Schemion won the urgently needed pot holding the {q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

Spragg Jams Up His Stack

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Some 10,000 were in the middle as the flop showed {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Toru Ida bet 8,000 with some 19,000 behind and from one seat over, PokerStars ambassador Benjamin Spragg then pushed all-in with the covering stack.

Ida was sent into the tank and eventually released his cards into the muck as Spragg chipped up without showdown.

Seire Jams Into Kaverman

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With a main pot of around 13,500 to the {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{6-Spades} flop and bets of 3,000 as well as 10,500 pulled into the middle to the {k-Hearts} turn and {7-Spades} river, the action was picked up with a check by Byron Kaverman in late position. Casimir Seire on the button pushed all-in for 28,000 and had the slightly covering stack.

Kaverman went deep into the tank but none of the other players on the table called the clock. Ultimately, Kaverman released his cards into the muck and dropped below the starting stack while Seire won the pot to move above the average.

Rudolph and Kulev Chip Up

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ole Schemion had 2,200 in front while on the button and Alex Kulev then raised to 11,500 in the big blind. A potential third player was already forced out and Schemion gave it some thought before calling. Kulev bet the {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} flop and Schemion folded.

One table over, the turn showed {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Aleksandar Tomovic checked in the big blind. Christian Rudolph bet 8,600 for Tomovic to call. Both checked the {10-Diamonds} river and Tomovic turned over {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair and missed straight draw. That was no good, as Rudolph had the superior pair in {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}.
