Hands #112-115: Bosca Starts Limping; Break

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Hand #112: Daniel Strelitz raised to 200,000 from under the gun with {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Scott Wellenbach defended his big blind with {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop prompted a check from Wellenbach. Strelitz bet 200,000 with his flush draw and Wellenbach check-called the double belly buster.

The {8-Hearts} on the turn completed Wellenbach's straight and both players checked. Wellenbach bet 500,000 on the {K-Hearts} river and Strelitz folded.

Hand #113: Wellenbach had {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} in the small blind and raised to 400,000. Strelitz had {A-Clubs}{5-Spades} in the big blind and three-bet shoved for 2,940,000. Wellenbach asked for a count but folded shortly after.

Hand #114: Vicent Bosca limped {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} in on the cutoff, Wellenbach limped the button with {4-Spades}{2-Spades}, Strelitz had {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} in the small blind and punished the limpers with a raise to 550,000. Chino Rheem folded {Q-}{J-} in the big blind, and the limpers also folded.

Hand #115: Bosca limped with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} first to act, Rheem completed {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs} in the small blind and Pavel Veksler checked {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

The {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop missed everyone and Bosca won with a bet of 275,000.
