Staszko Over Swidler

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Three players including Talal Shakerchi 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event runner up Martin Staszko and Carter Swidler took a flop of in a raised pot. Shakerchi checked the flop, Staszko fired 1,500, and Swidler called. Shakerchi got out of the way, leaving the duo heads up to fourth street.

The dealer produced the on fourth and Staszko kept up his aggression by moving 3,600 across the betting line. Swidler would not be swayed, however, as he tossed out a call.

The on the river prompted Staszko to bet one final time. His wager of 5,800 was enough to get Swidler out of the pot and Staszko was awarded the pot. He now has about 50,000 to his name.

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

And on a completely unrelated note, Daniel Colman, crusher of all things high-roller in the last few months, and the man for whom a million-dollar swing is another day of the week, Viktor Blom, have both arrived to play in EPT London.

Law was encouraged to show the bluff and he showed the . Blain wanted to know Spindler’s hand asking, “Did you have me beat Benny? I had king-jack.” Spindler shook his head. “I’m not having much fun today.” Blain chuckled as he contemplated his meagre stack.
