Bojang Rising

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

Ismael Bojang was the last player to enter so far, and he just took on 2016 November Niner Vojtech Ruzicka. Bojang bet the {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} turn for 7,000 into a pot of 6,500 and Ruzicka called. After the {K-Spades} river, Ruzicka checked and Bojang's big bet did the trick to enforce a fold.

The Size That Matters

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

Petr Liesner raised to 2,600 and Sander van Wesemael three-bet to 6,200. Once the action was on Moritz Dietrich, he four-bet to 16,000 on the button and that forced out everyone. Hossein Ensan had to forfeit his big blind and is among the shortest stacks right now.

Wim Neys made it 2,200 to go from the cutoff and Ismael Bjoang shot back with a three-bet to 7,000 from the small blind. Neys called and immediately faced a bet worth 10,000 on the {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}, which was enough to force a fold from the Belgian.

Another One For Gruissem

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Gruissem drags another pot away from Manig Loeser
Gruissem drags another pot away from Manig Loeser

We join the action in a hand between Manig Loeser, Philipp Gruissem, and Jonathan Wong, looking at an {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop, with 11,000 in the middle.

Gruissem bet 6,000, with Wong making the call, before Loeser announced a check-raise to 21,000. Gruissem thought for a while before putting in the call, and Wong quickly folded.

The {2-Clubs} landed on the turn and both players checked, before the {3-Diamonds} hit the river. Loeser checked over to Gruissem, who bet 21,000 and was called immediately. Gruissem confidently tabled {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} for flopped bottom set, while Loeser passed his cards face-down to the dealer.

Hallert Gets Even Shorter

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

First to act, Kenny Hallaert raised to 2,000 and called a three-bet by Moritz Dietrich for 5,100 in total. Both players checked the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop and Hallaert chek-called a bet of 3,500 on the {J-Hearts} turn. The {J-Spades} river was checked through again and Hallaert showed {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Dietrich had that beat with {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Hallaert joked "you had my outs."

Bicknell and Michaelis Chip Up

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Matthias de Meulder opened to 3,000 and Kristen Bicknell as well as Philipp Gruissem in the big blind called. On the {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Gruissem checked and subsequently folded while de Meulder bet 5,600 and Bicknell called.

After the {2-Clubs} turn, de Meulder checked and Bicknell claimed the pot without showdown by betting 10,000.

On table over, Pierre Neuville made it 3,000 to go from the button and Paul Michaelis three-bet to 10,500 in the small blind., Neuville called. On the {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop, Michaelis checked and was suddenly the one to call a bet of 10,000. Boht checked the {4-Hearts} turn and Michaelis' bet of 12,500 on the river was reluctantly called. Michaelis turned over {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for top pair and that won the pot.

Jachtmann Gets Bluffed

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action at the tables has slowed down considerably and many hands don't go past the flop.One such prime example saw a check by Benjamin Benoit in late position and Jan-Peter Jachtmann bet 5,500 from the cutoff on the {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Benoit check-raised to 14,000 and Jachtmann tried to get any kind of information via table chat after two other players had folded already.

"I can't even put you on a bluff here," Jachtmann said. After three minutes in the think tank he folded pocket kings and Benoit showed him the {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

We join the action on a {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} board, in a hand between Pierre Neuville and Paul Michaelis, with just over 100,000 in the middle.

The {5-Spades} hit the river, with Neuville checking over to Michaelis, who moved all-in for his last 57,500. Neuville made the call, turning over {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, which was no good versus Michaelis' {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.
