Buijs Busts to Ricken

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Rens Buijs was seen leaving the tournament area and was kind enough to recount his bust out hand to PokerNews, bringing a salutary tale of putting too much emphasis on prior history with a player.

Buijs opened under the gun with nine-six suited, and was three-bet by his good friend Floris Pop, who he plays with regularly, in the next seat. The three-bet obtained a crazy five cold callers, including from Hendrick Ricken on the button.

Action folded back to Buijs, who explained he considered it was highly likely Pop was three-betting him light, and given the size of the pot, he decided to go for the four-bet jam for around 40 bigs effective, looking strong from his under the gun position.

He thought his plan would work when Pop quickly folded, as did the first cold-caller. However Ricken made the call with pocket fours. Buijs stated he was delighted to be flipping, but the Qx8x2x7xQx runout did not improve his hand, resulting in his demise.

Lach Secures Triple Up; Abbaspour Busts Coknez

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Cards were just being swept away and Kai Lach was raking in a big pot, with Anders Andersen good enough to recount the hand.

It was a three-way all in involving Kai Lach, Halil Coknez and Arwin Abbaspour, who covered both players.

Lach held ace-king, Abbaspour held pocket kings, and Coknez had pocket sevens. The flop came ace-high to send Lach the triple up, and Abbaspour won a small side pot with his pocket kings to send Coknez to the rail.

Vellrath Doubles via Zhao

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Thorben Vellrath
Thorben Vellrath

Around 10,500 was in the middle on a board of 4J10 in a pot between Cheng Zhao in middle position and Thorben Vellrath in the big blind.

Zhao put out a bet of 7,000, only to be faced with a check-jam from his opponent of 22,100. As Zhao took some time to think through the spot, Vellrath told him "Your draw isn't coming".

After a bit more thought, Zhao moved his chips into the middle with the slightly covering stack.

Thorben Vellrath: AK All in
Cheng Zhao: J9

It was in fact Vellrath who held the nut flush draw, and sure enough the 8 rolled off on the turn to give him a lock on the hand and render the 3 river irrelevant.

Eslik Good at Showdown

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Baris Topuz opened to 1,300 under the gun and was called by Anil Eslik in the next seat and Stefan Wolfschutz on the button.

On the J610 flop, Topuz checked, Eslik slid out a bet of 1,000, and only Topuz called.

The Q turn and 3 river were then checked through. Eslik showed 88 for a pair of eights, and that was good enough versus Topuz's A9 for ace-high.

Lian Doubles via Bloch

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Herry Lian
Herry Lian

Around 12,000 was in the middle on a completed board of J6958, and Herry Lian led out with a bet of 8,000.

His opponent Jan Bloch, thought the spot through before reaching for chips and producing a raise to 50,000, covering the rest of Lian's stack.

Lian couldn't get his chips in quick enough, understandable given he had Q10 for the nut queen-high straight, besting Bloch's 1010.

Ivan Klasnic
Ivan Klasnic

Axel Juncker opened to 900 in early position and Croatian former international striker Ivan Klasnic defended his big blind.

On the 364 flop, Klasnic quickly check-folded versus a continuation bet of 1,400 by Juncker.

Felix Schneiders has also entered the fray and has been sat at this table, which is currently the feature table on stream.
