Late Reg Rush
As the blinds increase, some of our players are finding their stacks starting to dwindle and find themselves facing a decision: grind out their short stack, or go for the gamble before late registration closes in just under half an hour! We are seeing plenty of pre-flop all-ins, and low-equity post-flop check-raises from players desperate to run up a stack.
Timo Vogt is finding himself falling into the short-stack category, having doubled up a few hopefuls, a list that recently includes Ernst Strau, who 3-bet shoved his last 14,700 with ![]()
. Vogt made the call with ![]()
and just needed to fade the overcard, but failed to hold on once more, as he was outflopped on ![]()
![]()
. The
offered Vogt some gutshot outs to chop the pot, but the
river left him frustrated, while Strau's gamble will keep him afloat a little longer.
