Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Sebastian Langrock entered a few minutes ago and was then moved tables as the field increased further. During one of the first hands there, he bet the A♦7♠7♥8♦2♠ river and Philipp Wallner tossed in a single T-5,000 chip for the call.

Langrock tabled his A♠7♣6♥4♥ for sevens full of aces to drag in the pot with a smirk on the face.

Paul Van Straten raised to 1,500 and called a pot-sized three-bet to 5,400 by Sebastian Langrock, as they checked the A♠4♠3♣ flop.

"How much is in the pot?" Van Straten inquired before he then bet 11,500 into 12,300.

"Oh, discount?" Langrock joked and called. Both checked the 4♦ river and Van Straten tabled his A♦10♦7♠3♥ for aces and tens, which Langrock had beat holding K♣Q♠7♣2♠ for a flush.
