Tsunamy in Action

Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Spanish player Javier Tsunamy seems quite active at his table.

He just took a small pot before opening again in early position to 1,200. Another Spanish player, seated just on his left, three-bet to 3,600. The player on the button called, as did Tsunamy.

On the flop 876, Tsunamy checked, his neighbor continued to 6,000, enough to take the pot immediately. He showed QQ to reassure his opponents.

First Chip Leader

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Nico Pohl
Nico Pohl

PokerNews caught some action in a three-bet pot. Nico Pohl, in the big blind, squeezed to 7,000 after an early open and several calls.

Only the initial raiser called and the flop came QJJ. Pohl continuation-bet to 3,000 and got a call.

On the turn Q, both players checked.

On the river 3, the opening raiser bet 10,500 and Pohl thought for a while before calling with AA.

His opponent mucked and Pohl became the first chip leader of the tournament.
