Philipp Gruissem; Chip Leader

Level 2 : 150/300, 300 ante

Manfred Frerichs had just taken a decent pot from Matthias de Meulder who folded on the river to some aggressive play from Frerichs. Confidence and chip stack on the up Frerichs decided to limp the next hand.

“Call? Are you sure?” Philipp Gruissem asked him before bumping it up to 1,200 from the button. The player in the big blind called and Frerichs put in the extra calling chips to see a three-way flop of {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

Frerichs was the player who seized the betting lead with 3,000 chip tossed in the middle. Gruissem called the bet and the big blind let it go.

The turn card was the {q-Diamonds} and a further bet of 6,500 from Frerichs was followed by a raise to 25,000 from Gruissem. Frerichs called.

The river was the {7-Clubs} and Frerichs moved all in. Gruissem took a moment to asses before he called and must have been mightily relieved to hear “Schizer,” coming from Frerichs who tabled {9-Hearts}{8-Spades} for the flopped straight draw that came to naught.

Gruissem tabled {7-Spades}{6-Hearts} for trips and declared aloud, “Chip leader.”

A Third Table Opens

Level 2 : 150/300, 300 ante

Van Tiep Nguyen and Hossein Ensan joined in quick succession and they were joined by Robin Hegele, who finished 27th in the 2017 World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event just a few weeks ago.

With now 18 entries, a third table was opened to accommodate the growing field, and a brief redraw was done for that exact reason.

Sinclair Joins

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Jack Sinclair has joined the competition and sat down over on table 83 while Sander van Wesemael and Andreas Eiler claimed pots. Both of them came from Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who remains above the starting stack after winning the big pot right off the start.

Eiler made it 600 to go from the button and Sinclair called in the small blind, as did Jachtmann from the big blind. The flop fell {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and a bet of 700 by Eiler was called from both. After the {A-Clubs} turn, Eiler fired a second bet worth 3,200 and that won the pot.

Then, Jachtmann raised to 600 and van Wesemael called in the big blind. The Dutchman check-raised the {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop from 1,000 to 2,800 and forced a fold.

Jachtmann Teases The Talk

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

The board at the turn read {2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and The Talk checked it from the small blind to team partypoker sponsored Pro Jan-Peter Jachtmann on the button who bet 3,000. The Talk mulled it over silently before calling.

The river was the {4-Hearts} and a final check from The Talk saw a bet of 6,500 from Jachtmann. The Talk started chatting away in German which got the reply, “Flush draw,” from Jachtmann. T

he Talk called and a Jachtmann was seemingly reluctant to turn over his hand before saying, “One pair,” and tabling {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

The Talk tabled his {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} with some annoyance, but to the delight of Jachtmann who had got there on the river and teased him that he was glad there was some amateurs at the table.

Bicknell Joins; Jachtmann Drops a Few Chips

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Andreas Eiler made it 600 to go and Jan-Peter Jachtmann called out of the big blind with the words "let's see a flop, I am an Omaha player". The flop came {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Jachtmann check-called a bet of 1,000 before check-folding the {Q-Diamonds} turn when facing a second bet worth 2,700.

Jachtmann also got involved into a hand with The Talk soon after, in which he check-called a bet on the {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop and another worth 2,500 on the {7-Hearts} turn. The {6-Spades} came on the river and Jachtmann checked. The Talk bet 7,000 and Jachtmann let go with the words "that looks like a bluff." Indeed, he was shown the {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} by The Talk and lost a few further chips.

Right after, Kristen Bicknell sat down and shook hands with fellow partypoker pro Jachtmann before joining the action.

Button Ante

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

The High Roller and German Poker Championship are using a “Button Ante” system.

Instead of each player putting in their ante, the player on the button is responsible for paying the total antes required at the table each hand.

Action in the First Hand

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Jan-Peter Jachtmann raised to 600 and The Talk three-bet to 1,500, which Sander van Wesemael in the big blind called. Jachtmann then four-bet to 5,600 and both opponents called. On the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, Jachtmann continued for 8,000 and that won the pot.

Jachtmann flashed his {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} and The Talk mentioned "I folded jacks," to wich the partypoker pro replied "good fold, that's called a continuation bet."

The First Five Entries

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Dutchman Sander van Wesemael is caught in an all-German crossfire that includes Andreas Eiler, Oliver Heidel, Team partypoker pro Jan-Peter Jachtmann and King's Regular "The Talk". His nickname is indeed true, as the German is very talkative when involved in hands.
