Nattaf Gets Through With a Move

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Just before the blinds went up, Tim Van Loo scooped a pot when he bet 3,500 into Alexander Schwarz on the Q♦9♥5♥5♦J♥ board. Schwarz folded and Van Loo raked in the small profit.

One table over, Romain Nattaf raised the pot from under the gun and earned one caller. Oleksandr Sadovyi reraised to 7,500 and Nattaf was the only caller.The K♣J♦J♥ flop was checked and Nattaf bet the 2♦ turn for 12,000. Sadovyi asked to see his stack before calling and Nattaf fired another 31,000 on the 9♥ river with about as much behind.

"I have a full but I don't know," Sadovyi murmured and Nattaf replied "so you gonna at least call?!"

Sadovyi, however, folded and was shown the 9♠8♣7♦6♠.

"So strong ..." Sadovyi added before glancing back at his book.

Vega Meister Next to Fall

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In a duel hijack versus button, Romain Nattaf took on Alfredo Vega Meister and the latter jammed the 10♣4♦3♦5♥5♠ river only for Nattaf to snap him off.

When Vega Meister saw the K♠Q♦5♣5♦ for back door quads, he briefly tossed his cards to the middle of the table before quickly heading out of the tournament area.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Only Guenter Halak check-called a bet of 3,000 by Sebastian Juhlen on the Q♠Q♣6♣ flop before both checked the 3♥ turn. On the [10c[ river, Halak checked and subsequently called another 5,000 but placed the chip near his opponent already.

Juhlen tabled his A♣K♣J♣9♥ for a flush and took down the pot.

Vasyl Pidhrushnyi: A♦A♥8♦6♥
Roland Kraenzle: 10♥8♣7♣5♥
