Baycuman Doubles via Vellrath

Richard Hayes

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

Action folded to Patrick Gerritsen on the button, who opened to 2,500. Mehmet Baycuman moved all in from the small blind for 11,500, and Thorben Vellrath cold four-bet jammed for around 32,000 from the big blind, forcing Gerritsen to get out of the way.

Mehmet Baycuman: K♣Q♥ All in
Thorben Vellrath: Q♦Q♠

Baycuman had walked into Vellrath's queens, but there was hope for Baycuman after the A♦J♠7♣ flop gave him a gutshot.

Sure enough the 10♣ rolled off on the turn to give Baycuman the nut straight and leave Vellrath drawing to a king for a chop. It did not arrive on the 3♠ river.

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

Anders Andersen was all-in for around 23,000 and at risk versus Florian Bach.

Anders Andersen: K♥Q♥ All in
Florian Bach: A♥Q♦

Andersen was in trouble with a dominated queen, and the 5♣2♠8♣6♦Q♣ runout failed to provide him with an unlikely escape, Bach's superior kicker with his pair of queens sending him the pot.

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

Erkan Sonmez opened to 2,600 from the hijack and was faced with a three-bet to 7,000 by Patrick Lorenz in the cutoff. Action folded back to Sonmez, who four-bet jammed for around 30,000, with Lorenz making the quick call.

Erkan Sonmez: A♠K♣ All in
Patrick Lorenz: 10♦10♥

Sonmez was behind in a race and needed some help from the board, but none arrived on the 6♦4♥9♣4♠3♣ runout.

Karl Doubles via Claussen

Richard Hayes

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

Around 70,000 was in the middle on a completed board of 3♦Q♥5♠4♦4♣ in a hand between Nicola Karl in early position and Tim Claussen in the big blind.

Claussen checked, and Karl moved all in for 41,000. Claussen went into the tank, and at one stage looked like he was set to send his hand into the muck.

However he appeared to change his mind at the last minute and gave the spot another minute or so of thought. He then flicked in a calling chip.

Karl showed K♠K♥ for a pair of kings, while Claussen had 7♠3♠ for a pair of threes. Karl scooped a big pot, while Claussen was left with crumbs.

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

Claus Spieckermann moved all in from middle position for 10,800 and was looked up by Modar Alsoud.

Claus Spieckermann: Q♠9♠ All in
Modar Alsoud: A♦7♣

Spieckermann needed some help and went ahead after the J♦K♣Q♣ flop gave him a pair of queens. The 8♥ turn and 9♣ river did not alter matters.

Modar Alsoud	175,000 43,000	43,000
Claus Spieckermann	22,500 49,500	49,500
