Some More for de Meulder

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Picking up the action on the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{Q-Spades} turn, Manig Loeser checked out of the big blind and Matthias de Meulder bet 5,800. Loeser called and quickly checked again the {9-Spades} river. De Meulder now bet 9,500 and Loeser tossed in two T-5,000 chips for the call.

As soon as de Meulder showed {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a full house, Loeser's cards went into the muck.

Passet Pairs Up

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante
Passet pulls in the pot, as Manig Loeser looks on
Passet pulls in the pot, as Manig Loeser looks on

Matthias de Meulder opened with a raise to 2,000 from the hijack, with action folding to Abraham Passet, who defended his big blind. The pair went heads up to a {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, where Passet check-called a 2,200 continuation bet from Meulder. The turn brought the {10-Diamonds}, which Passet check-called again, this time to the tune of 6,500.

The {10-Clubs} river double-paired the board, and Passet checked the action over to Meulder a third time. Much to Passet's chagrin, Meulder checked back, and Passet whipped over his {k-Hearts}{10-Spades} for the nut full house.

Ensan Folds to Push

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Philipp Gruissem raised to 2,000 and Matthias de Meulder three-bet to 6,300. Out of the big blind, Roman Cieslik four-bet to 21,200 and won the pot uncontested.

Hossein Ensan got into a pot with Moritz Dietrich and the latter has been using his big stack as of lately to get involved into plenty of pots. Ensan check-called a bet of 3,000 by Dietrich on the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop before the {Q-Spades} fell on the river. Ensan checked and Dietrich slid forward all his big chip denominations to win the pot by simply pushing Ensan out of the pot.

Matthias de Meulder Squeezes and Fires

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante
Matthias de Meulder - True Story
Matthias de Meulder - True Story

Jonathan Wong opened the betting with a raise to 2,200. partypoker Pro Kristen Bicknell called and when it got to Matthias de Meulder in the big blind he squeezed to 10,500.

Off came Wong’s headphones and on came a puzzled look. He surrendered his cards though and Bicknell called.

The heads-up flop was {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} and de Meulder continued the story with a bet of 8,700. Bicknell called.

The turn card was the {5-Clubs} and de Meulder added another chapter with a chunky bet of 24,300.

Bicknell mulled it over for a minute or two before deciding on discretion and mucking her hand.

No final page of the book would be read and whether it was fairy tale or horror only de Meulder knows and he ‘aint saying.

Benoit Below Starting Stack

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jan-Peter Jachtmann raised to 2,200 from under the gun and Jack Sinclair called from one seat over, as did Benjamin Benoit in the small blind and Oren Rosen in the big blind. Benoit bet the {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} flop for 3,500 and was called by Jachtmann only.

The {6-Clubs} turn saw another bet of 8,200 and a call by Jachtmann before Benoit checked the {4-Hearts} river. Jachtmann made it 13,000 to go and received the call he wanted, flipping over {Q-Clubs}{3-Spades} for trips queens as winning hand.

Two Pair Dilemma Sends Eiler to the Rail

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Andreas Eiler
Andreas Eiler

Not long ago Pierre Neuville started receiving a massage and that has since paid off, as the Belgian just sent Andreas Eiler to the rail. The hand started rather innocent, that was until Eiler ended up all in and at risk after a flop of {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Neuville looked him up for the last 39,400 and Eiler was in need ot a miracle.

Andreas Eiler: {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Pierre Neuville: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Eiler needed running hearts or a three in order to avoid elimination, but the {5-Spades} turn and {K-Spades} river were both blanks.

Cieslik Is Hot!

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
"I'm hot now!" declares Roman Cieslik
"I'm hot now!" declares Roman Cieslik

Roman Cieslik raised to 2,000 from the cutoff, with Manig Loeser calling from the small blind, and Philipp Gruissem calling from the big blind. The three players saw an eight each, on the {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop, which checked round to Cieslik, who continued for 3,100. Both Loeser and Gruissem made the call and they went three ways to the {10-Diamonds} turn.

Action checked through on the turn, with Gruissem leading out for 11,000 on the {a-Diamonds} river.

"Phil, Phil, Phil," muttered Cieslik as he shook his head with disapproval, before reluctantly dropping in the call. Loeser quickly folded. Gruissem confidently turned over {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, but was no good versus Cieslik's {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

"I'm hot now!" declared Cieslik as he stacked his newly-aquired chips.
