Higgins Five-Bets Preflop

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Joel Nordkvist opened the action from the button for 4,500 and Simon Higgins raised to 12,000. Nordkvist came back with a raise to 28,000 and Higgins responded with a further raise to 60,000.

Nordkvist made the call and they went to a flop of {2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. The two players checked and the turn card was the {2-Clubs}. Higgins went for a bet of 41,000 and Nordkvist moved all in. It would cost Higgins the rest of his chips to call. He threw down his {a-}{j-} in annoyance asking Nordkvist why he didn’t just get it all in preflop.

Farrell Matching Cards

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} Dominik Nitsche continued for 7,000 and got a call from Niall Farrell.

They both checked the turn {3-Clubs} and got to a river {4-Clubs}. Nitsche bet 20,000 and Farrell took a couple of minutes before he raised to 50,000. Nitsche tried to puzzle it out and eventually made the call.

Nitsche threw his cards away in annoyance when he saw Farrell had rivered a set with {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

“I was repping the fours.” Farrell joked as Nitsche said he couldn’t see what else he had there. “I’m good at matching my cards”

Haxton Hits For Small One

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

PokerStars Team Online Pro Isaac Haxton opened the action for 4,500 and called a 10,500 three-bet from Dori Yacoub. The blinds folded and it went heads up to a flop of {5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

Haxton check-called a bet of 11,000 and the turn {j-Clubs} and river {2-Hearts} were checked down. Haxton turned over {q-Spades}{10-Clubs} to win with top pair against the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} of Yacoub.

“That was dirty. You deserve a rebate.” Haxton joked as Yacoub shrugged it off.

Finally Daubach called with {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and Gruissem showed {9-Spades}{8-Spades}. The {A-Diamonds} offered some chop possibilities and the {5-Hearts} came on river to knock out the German.
