Raising War Sees Reusch Victorious

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jon Clark kicked off the action with a raise to 2,500 from early position. Frederik Reusch then three-bet to 7,500 from the hijack and the action folded back to Clark.

Clark made it 21,300 to go, but that was not enough for Reusch, who put out a tiny five-bet to 37,500.

Clark did not ponder long before letting his hand go, forfeiting the pot to Reusch without the need for additional cards on the table.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a flop of 9♥Q♣4♥, Matthew Micallef checked to Petr Zalsky, who then went on to make a bet of an unknown amount. Micallef called and the J♦ turn was dealt.

Micallef checked again and Zalsky put in 12,500 chips. Micallef responded with a jam, and Zalsky quickly threw in his entire stack of around 30,000 chips to put himself at risk.

Petr Zalsky: J♥J♣
Matthew Micallef: K♠10♦

Micallef's straight held as the 5♠ river did not upgrade Zalsky's set to a full house. Zalsky headed to the exit while Micallef chipped up further, playing more than three times the average stack.

Matthew Micallef	215,000 78,000	78,000

Maxime Taldir

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Hubert Olszewski under the gun, Georgios Bimperis in the small blind and Diogo Machado in the big blind raised each other preflop to create a 35,000 chip-pot, with Machado already being all in.

The dealer fanned a flop of 5♠2♣9♣ and Bimperis bet 17,500. Olszewski raised all in for 71,500, making Bimperis fold.

Diogo Machado: A♥K♥
Hubert Olszewski: K♣K♦

The turn 5♣ and the river 2♦ changed nothing, so Machado was eliminated.
