Wagermaier Doubles Through Vos

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Mark Vos raised to 5,000 under the gun and it folded around to Thomas Wagermaier in the big blind who announced all in for around 22,000. Vos looked vaguely sheepish, but called anyway.

Vos: {Q-Diamonds}

Wagermaier: {A-Diamonds}

Flop:

Vos: "Look at that!"

Turn: {A-Clubs}

Vos: "Oh come on! It's rigged!"

River: {8-Spades}

Double up for Wagermaier.

Guerlinze's a Goner

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

An enormous hand developed between Sebastien Guerlinze and Christian Fischbacher which culminated in Fischbacher raising all in to a bet from Guerlinze on the river of the {5-Hearts}

board, and Guerlinze calling for his tournament life.

Guerlinze: {2-Diamonds}

for the straight
Fischbacher: {J-Hearts}

for the flush

Thus Mr Guerlinze is busto, just before dinner.

Make Mine a Double

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

You may have noticed the previously struggling Stephan Inhester jump up to 18,000. He managed that feat with A-3 versus K-J on an eventful J-x-x-x-A board.

However, he double doubled just moments later, his {A-Spades}

in commanding shape against {K-Clubs}

on a

flop. A raggy turn and river later, and in the space of just a few hands, Inhester had gone from a short-stack to an above average stack.

Vos Takes the Michael & Kainz hit the Mark

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Mark Vos has been on a rampage of late, moving all in frequently and continually applying the pressure on his opponents. His plan, however, went awry just prior to the collation of those aforepublished chip counts, the Aussie/South African casually announcing all in from the button but being caught red-handed by Michael Kainz who made the call in the big blind.

Kainz = {A-Spades}

Vos =

Flop =

"Eight!" requested Vos.

Turn = {8-Hearts}

"Seven!" he continued.

"Stop it," replied his concerned opponent.

River = {3-Spades}

and Kainz survived for a double through. Vos, meanwhile, still has 69,400.

"Rigged," claimed Vos.

Deckers Triples Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Gerard Deckers shoved for a mere 6,500 under the gun, and two places to his left Luke O'Kelly reshoved for 9,100. It folded around to Rasmus Gandrup on the big blind who thought about it for a moment before making another of his trademark esoteric calls, and they were on their backs.

Deckers: {A-Clubs}

O'Kelly:

Gandrup:

Board: a very exciting {2-Diamonds}

Thus Deckers enjoyed a full triple-up, while O'Kelly was down to more or less the felt with just a couple thousand chips to his name.

Kasper the Friendly Busted

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kasper Frohling raised from the cutoff only to face a shove from Peter Griesmann in the big blind. A pause later and Frohling called; Griesmann flipped over his worst nightmare and the board was dealt.

Frohling: trying it on with {5-Diamonds}

Griesmann: very ahead with {A-Hearts}

Board:

Frohling assumed he was covered and attempted to leave immediately, but the dealer teased him by making him wait for the chips to be counted. He was indeed out, and a handshake later he headed for the door.

Slip Up by Gandrup

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

With the board reading {6-Clubs}

, a bet of 5,000 from Christian Fischbacher left Rasmus Gandrup in a quandary, then the chip leader huffing and puffing before announcing all in.

Quicker than a pack of wolves on a three-legged cat, Fischbacher made the call for his final with {K-Spades}

only to find his opponent drawing dead to... nothing, with {J-Diamonds}

.

Gandrup now down to 35-40,000.
