Another Tough One

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

There are a few rows of tables near the end of the room, mostly filled with players who registered late, that are looking extremely tough.

The players are complaining about being placed at the same tables, but for now they are going to have to play it out. The players listed below are all at the same table, and while it's quiet here it doesn't seem like they're too happy about the start of their day.

The tables in this area of the room will likely be broken up first in order to spread these players across the room. When walking around the room there are a huge number of stacked tables, so showing up early was no guarantee for an easy day on the felt.

Chris Oliver vs. Chino Rheem

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With the board reading {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Chris Oliver (cutoff) check-called 2,300 from Chino Rheem (button) to see the {10-Diamonds} turn. Oliver check-called 4,800, landing the {3-Clubs} river. A third check from Oliver led to a third bet from Rheem, this time 10,000. Oliver folded before Rheem even dropped the chips into the pot, locking up the pot for Chino.

Benger Folds the River

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Abdel-Aziz Murad checked to Griffin Benger on a flop of {3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, the Canadian fired out 800, and Murad made the call.

The turn was the {q-Diamonds}, Murad quickly knuckled again, and Benger fired out 1,700. The second the chips hit the felt, Murad reached into his stack and gathered enough chips to make the call.

The {j-Clubs} completed the board, Murad checked a third and final time, and Benger fired a third bullet worth 2,500. Murad instantly check-raised to 6,000, and Benger went into the tank.

The Season 9 EPT Berlin High Roller winner eventually folded his hand, and Murad proudly showed {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for a flopped set of fours.

Kuether Lets It Go

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

The completed board read {5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and there was already around 50,000 in the middle of the table. Joe Kuether was heads up in the hand with Giuseppe Polichetti and Kuether checked the river. Polichetti moved all in for 16,700 and Kuether went deep into the tank.

After a moment, Kuether let his cards go and Polichetti was pushed the massive pot.

"If you show then I'll show," said Polichetti after the hand but he received no reply from Kuether.

Polichetti is now sitting around 60,000 while Kuether's stack has fallen to around 20,000.
