Stigter Hands Pot to Rendering

Level 21 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Martijn Rendering
Martijn Rendering

Another strange hand here - Martijn Rendering opened to 80,000 under the gun, and received calls from Uwe Behrendt in the cutoff and Jan Stigter in the big blind.

Action was checked to the raiser on the Q75 flop, and Rendering fired out a bet of 60,000, which only Stigter called.

The 8 turn was checked through to the J river, bringing one-card flush possibilities.

Stigter, first to act, and before Rendering had made any indication of the likelihood of him betting via any body movement, sent his cards immediately into the muck upon seeing the river.

Rendering showed 99 and was delighted.

In the next hand, Rendering made an error when attempting to call from the big blind versus Jaime Lozano Diaz's button raise, putting in chips amounting to a minimum raise.

After a delay with the floor being called and a ruling, Rendering then check-folded versus a minimum bet from Diaz on the ace-high flop.

Manual Janas

Matthias Kribben opened to 80,000 from the cutoff, and received a call from Guillaum Otto on the button, before Manuel Janas jammed from the small blind for 390,000.

Giuseppe Di Bella then put his 325,000 stack into the middle from the big blind, and both Kribben and Otto folded.

Giuseppe Di Bella: 87 All in
Manuel Janas: AQ

Di Bella didn't have much, and Janas sent him packing after hitting an ace on the A42K6 runout - the German celebrating enthusiastically when the river hit.

Domenico Lando jammed from early position for 165,000 and big blind Jan Stigter looked him up.

The two players wished each other luck and gave a fist bump while they awaited Lando's fate.

Rendering Rumbles Intiso

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Martijn Rendering
Martijn Rendering

A pot of around 500,000 was in the middle, on a board of J108J, in a hand between Martijn Rendering and Matteo Intiso.

Rendering checked and Intiso jammed for 350,000. He looked absolutely dismayed when Rendering snapped.

Matteo Intiso: 104 All in
Martijn Rendering: QQ

Intiso needed to bink a ten on the river to survive and it was a brick 8.

Cadoni Bluffs it Off to Vietti

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Angelo Vietti
Angelo Vietti

Niccolo Cadoni was getting up out of his chair, and Angelo Vietti was sweeping in what looked to be closed to a 3,100,000 pot, after Vietti check-called a jam from Cadoni on the river.

The board read A3263, and Cadoni, who had position on Vietti, held 98 for air, while Vietti had AQ for a pair of aces.

Ferrara Busts Stefanovic After Advanced Apologies

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Matteo Ferrara
Matteo Ferrara

Ludovic Uzan opened to 120,000 from the button, before Matteo Ferrara three-bet jammed as the table chip leader. Boban Stevanovic was in the big blind and he got his 590,000 stack into the middle, with Uzan folding.

Boban Stevanovic: A8 All in
Matteo Ferrara: A5

"Apologies in advance" said Ferrara, as the players waited for the runout. Matthias Kribben was also seen collecting his payout just before the break.

Apologies were indeed necessary, as Ferrara rivered a flush on the KJ36K runout.

Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Angelo Vietti
Angelo Vietti

Around 520,000 was in the middle, on a flop of J55, in a hand between Martijn Rendering under the gun and Angelo Vietti in middle position.

Rendering continued with a bet of 90,000 and Vietti called.

The 8 hit on the turn, and Rendering barreled again with a bet of 310,000. Again a quick call from Vietti.

The 8 river completed the board, and Rendering went for the triple-barrel, with a bet of 550,000 - Vietti snap-called.

Rendering tabled QQ but it was no good against Vietti's KK.

Frey Cracks Cowboys

Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Martyn Frey opened to 250,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet jam to 2,200,000 by Jiri Novak with the covering stack from the button. Action back to Frey, who called.

Martyn Frey: AQ All in
Jiri Novak: KK

Frey was in trouble, but the ace was in the window on the AQJ flop. Novak still had outs to the flush and straight, but the 5A turn and river only improved Frey further, to Novak's absolute disgust.

Novak was left with 750,000 and busted shortly after.
