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.

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 
flop, Jachtmann continued for 8,000 and that won the pot.
Jachtmann flashed his 
and The Talk mentioned "I folded jacks," to wich the partypoker pro replied "good fold, that's called a continuation bet."

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.
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 
and Jachtmann check-called a bet of 1,000 before check-folding the 
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 
flop and another worth 2,500 on the 
turn. The 
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 
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.

Jachtmann Teases The Talk
Level 1
: 100/200, 200 ante
The board at the turn read 
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 
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 
.
The Talk tabled his 
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.
