Rantamaki Takes From Danneker

Tim Baker

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The action was picked up with a lot of chips in the middle on a flop of 5♥Q♥4♣. Cedric Danneker checked from the small blind and faced a bet of 4,500 from Joni Rantamaki out of the big blind. Danneker called.

The 5♦ turn and 3♥ river got checked down and Danneker showed pocket nines with 9♣9♠. This was no good to the J♥J♣ of Rantamaki.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Sandro Taddei raised to 1,300 from middle position and Audrius Daugvilavicius three-bet to 6,100 from the cutoff. After it folded back to Taddei he four-bet ripped it for around 35,000. Daugvilavicius snap-called.

Sandro Taddei: Q♠Q♦ All in
Audrius Daugvilavicius: A♠K♥

It was a classic flip until the dealer fanned out the flop of Q♣9♠8♠ to put Taddei firmly in the lead with a set of queens. The 6♠ turn gave Daugvilavicius a possible chance to win the hand with a flush draw. However, the 5♣ fell on the river and Taddei doubled up.

Audrius Daugvilavicius: A♥K♠ All in
