'Zeeth' Can't Handle the Waiting Game

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Morten 'Zeeth' Ottosen is a Twitch Streamer just like Lex Veldhuis. The difference between Veldhuis and Ottosen is that the one plays poker while the other mostly plays video games for their online audience.

'Zeeth' is good in what he does, but poker is an entirely different thing for the Danish streamer. He was first seated at the table with 'Spraggy' and Veldhuis, but that table broke.

Ottosen was seen impatiently standing next to his chair while fiddling with some of his chips. ''I haven't had a real hand since the last break and when I had a hand Lex three-bet. It's so boring.''

Ottosen might be very good in video games, but he's having a tough time with the 'waiting game'.

Alloun Wins Big Three Way Pot

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Alessandro Mancini opened the action from middle position with a raise to 6,000. He was called by Moise Alloun from late position and Ben Martin from the button.

The flop came down {7-Spades}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Mancini continued with a bet of 16,000. He was called again by both opponents and the {9-Diamonds} turn was dealt by the dealer.

This time Mancini pushed all in for a total of 58,500. Alloun then reshoved for 168,500 and the action was on Martin. He thought about it for a while before the clock was called. Martin ended up folding just before his time ran out and the cards were turned on their backs.

Alessandro Mancini: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Moise Alloun: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}

The river was the {a-Clubs} and Mancini got eliminated from the tournament.

Spraggy Shows the Bluff

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Benjamin Spragg is on his second bullet but he's definitely not slowing down. The PokerStars Team Online member just bet 3,500 on a {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop. He was called by one opponent and they saw the turn appear on the board.

'Spraggy' fired another bet of 10,500 and that was enough to make his opponent fold. He collected the chips from the pot and he opened up {9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} to rub a bit of salt in the wound.

Savov Eliminates Fusaro

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 0 ante

Samuel Fusaro moved all his chips to the middle from the under-the-gun position. His all-in bet was for about 25 big blinds and when the action was on Tomislav Savov in late position he moved all in as well. The player on the button and the players in the blinds both got out of the way and they opened up.

Samuel Fusaro: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Tomislav Savov: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The board fell {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Fusaro wasn't able to come back from behind to take down the pot. He was eliminated from the tournament while Savov almost doubled up.

Vosters Doubles Up

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 0 ante

Geert Vosters was all-in and at risk when he got his chips in the middle with {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}. He had to win against the {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} of Jean-Pierre Righetti.

The flop fell {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Vosters only needed to fade kings and queens on the turn and river. The turn came down {9-Spades} and the river was the {5-Diamonds} and Vosters doubled up and prevented elimination.
