Wolfgang Poker Flops the Nuts

Calum Grant

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Henrik Juncker opened to 5,000 from under the gun and Alexander "Wolfgang Poker" Seibt called from the hijack. Firoz Mangroe took his time in making the call ahead of Antoine Vranken defending his big blind.

Juncker continued for 8,000 on the K♦8♦7♦ flop. Seibt and Mangroe stuck around while Vranken opted to release his hand.

The Q♠ came in on the turn, and Juncker moved all in for 53,500. Seibt began to think over his options, lifting his mudkip card protector to recheck his hole cards. He asked to see Mangroe's stack, which he narrowly covered and then moved all in for around 120,000. Mangro folded and the cards were tabled.

Henrik Juncker: 8♣8♥ All in
Alexander Seibt: A♦Q♦

Juncker wanted the board to pair while Seibt requested a drama-free river. The dealer answered with the 4♥ river, locking up the nice sized pot for the vlogger.

"That is so good for poker," said Seibt as he took his stack to the 200,000 mark.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Kimmo Fagerholm raised to 5,000 under the gun and was three-bet to 13,500 by Darren Rabinowitz in middle position. Mikhail Nikolaev cold-called from the button and Fagerholm called as well.

All three players checked the flop of A♦3♠9♥ to see the 6♠ come on the turn. Fagerholm's bet of 9,000 got a fold from Rabinowitz, but a call from Nikolaev.

The Q♣ on the river got checked through and Fagerholm took down the pot with A♣10♣ for top pair.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Alexandre Reard raised to 5,000 from under the gun with J♥J♦ and picked up a call from Pablo Almeida with 7♠7♥. Vlado Banicevic then three-bet to 19,000 from the hijack and Arthur Thiriart moved all in from the big blind for 41,000.

Reard and Almeida both folded and Banicevic made the call. Thiriart was at risk as players turned their cards.

Arthur Thiriart: A♣K♠ All in
Vlado Banicevic: Q♥Q♣

It was the most classic poker race. The board ran out K♣4♠J♠9♠10♦ and Thiriart paired his king on the flop to get ahead. He also had a flush draw on the turn, but Banicevic hit one of his few outs on the river to make a straight.

Banicevic won the pot and Thiriart was eliminated from the tournament.

Mike Patrick

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Four players committed 5,500 to see a flop of 7♣7♥3♠ with the blinds checking to Raoul Kanme in the cutoff who bet 11,500. Jack Hardcastle was Kanme's only customer, calling on the button.

On the 9♦ turn, Kanme bet 16,000 and got called again by Hardcastle.

The river brought the J♦ and Kanme now checked. Hardcastle committed his last 40,500 chips which sent Kanme briefly into the tank.

Ultimately he landed on a call to see Hardcastle's K♠7♠ for trip sevens and the winner as Kanme could only table J♣8♣ for a rivered pair of jacks.

Raoul Kanme	345,000 29,000	29,000
Jack Hardcastle	155,000 15,000	15,000

Calum Grant

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Davidi Kitai was a short stack and put in his last 13,500 from early position. The action folded to Maksim Shornikau in the big blind, who put in the additional chips.

Kitai turned over Q♥8♦ and was behind his opponent's K♦5♥.

Kitai missed on the 6♠3♥3♠ flop and 4♠ turn. The 5♠ river offered no help to the Belgian and Shornikau took in the pot.
