Janssen

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With 93,000 already in the pot and the flop 644, action checked from the big blind to Ferdinand Janssen, in a three-way pot.

Janssen put out a bet of 27,000, and Fabrizio Giuseppe responded by moving all in for 98,000. The player in the big blind thought long and hard, ultimately choosing to fold, but Janssen flicked in a call.

Fabrizio Giuseppe: A9 All in
Ferdinand Janssen: 99

There were no nasty surprises for Janssen, as the board was completed with a clean 7 turn and 2 river.

McNicholas Loses Some Back

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With a pot worth roughly 60,000 already in the middle, big blind Euan McNicholas was facing off against Giovanni Nava in early position.

With the action already complete on the 296 flop, the dealer burned and turned the 6.

Nicholas opted to lead out for 37,000, which Nava called.

The river 8 saw McNicholas check, and Nava bet 53,000. After taking some time to mull the situation over, McNicholas decided to call.

Nava flipped over A6, which was good enough to claim the pot, and McNicholas mucked his cards.
