Dennis Beau raised to 500 from middle position and was met with a three-bet to 1,200 by Ole Rehse in the small blind. Nico Jutila cold-called in the big blind, and Beau also called.

The A♦9♦4♦ flop was checked through.

On the 4♥ turn, Rehse led out with a bet of 1,200, and both of his opponents folded.

Besic Good at Showdown But Misses Value

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

A player limped under the gun and Huso Besic raised to 300, receiving a call from Christian Ballstadt. Marc Fehsenfeld then produced a three-bet to 1,000 from the small blind. The limper folded, but both Besic and Ballstadt came along for the ride.

On the A♥6♥J♦ flop, Fehsenfeld continued with a bet of 800, and both of his opponents called.

The 6♠ rolled off on the turn, and Fehsenfeld fired out a bet of 1,500, which again failed to shake off either opponent.

The 9♠ river completed the board and was checked through. Fehsenfeld showed A♣10♠ for a pair of aces.

When he did this, Besic claimed he had not checked. The dealer and both of his opponents were clear they thought it was a clear check (for the record PokerNews agreed).

Ballstadt then turned over A♠K♦ for a better ace than Fehsenfeld's, but Besic turned over A♦9♣ for the rivered two pair, and scooped the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Marc Fehsenfeld	37,000

Christian Ballstadt	23,500

$4 Million Guaranteed MicroMillions Returns to PokerStars From July 7

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Richard Hayes

Online poker's most prestigious low-stakes tournament series is returning to PokerStars from July and bringing with it $4 million in guaranteed prize pools. The 2024 edition of the ever-popular MicroMillions sees 208 affordable events take place between July 7-21 in what will be a fortnight of incredible poker action.

Where many poker tournament festivals focus on high-stakes events, often with tournaments commanding four, five, or six-figure buy-ins, the MicroMillions events start from only $1.10 and top out at a still affordable $55.

However, just because MicroMillions tournaments don't cost the earth to enter doesn't mean there isn't plenty of money to play for. The smallest guaranteed prize pool offered during the series is $1,500, and there are five events with six-figure guarantees, including the $500,000 guaranteed MicroMillions Main Event.
