Set Rivered for Strange

Level 14 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Around 75,000 was in the middle on a completed board of J869Q, in a hand between Jan Bengelmann in middle position and Danny Strange in the big blind.

Strange check-called a bet of 22,000 from Bengelmann, and although he had a set with 88, it was no good versus Bengelmann's A10 for the rivered one-card straight.

Still, Strange can be consoled by losing the minimum.

Mawick Over a Milly

Level 14 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Carsten Mawick
Carsten Mawick

Carsten Mawick opened to 18,000 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 60,000 from Antonio Roberti in the small blind. After asking to see his opponent's stack, Mawick elected to call.

Roberti continued with a bet of 27,000 on the J65 flop, and Mawick called.

Roberti slowed down on the 6 turn, checking to Mawick. That was an opportunity chip leader Mawick was not going to miss, sliding out a bet of 450,000, covering Robert's remaining stack of 215,000.

Roberti only gave it 30 seconds of thought or so before folding, sending Mawick over the seven-figure mark.

Giacomo Comitini raised to 17,000 and received calls from Oliver Mihajlovski and Karl Sandoff in the blinds.

On the J92 flop, Sandoff check-called versus a bet of 20,000 from Comitini, while Mihajlovski check-folded.

On the Q turn, Sandoff check-folded in the face of a jam from Comitini with the covering stack.

Rimmer Overbets River; Shows Bluff

Level 14 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Charlie Rimmer
Charlie Rimmer

A big pot of 190,000 had developed by the river on a board of 108326, in a hand between Feliciano Gentile and Charlie Rimmer.

Gentile checked and Rimmer fired out a bet of 260,000. Gentile had 80,000 behind and went into the tank. After about a minute, he sighed and sent his cards to the muck.

Rimmer showed AJ for the ace-high bluff, and that only darkened Gentile's mood.
