Runnar Rings Around Boeken

Noah Boeken,Runnar Lindepuu
Noah Boeken,Runnar Lindepuu
Noah Boeken raised to 250 from UTG, and was flat-called by Runnar Lindepuu just one seat down. On the {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, Boeken bet 450 and Lindepuu, again, flat-called. Come the {K-Clubs} turn, however, Lindepuu was less hospitable, betting 1,000, before pushing all in for 7,300 once Boeken had made it 2,050. With the press lurking over his shoulders like blood thirsty vultures, Boeken made a reluctant fold.

Big Name Players

There are some big name players present today, but possibly the biggest is Pim Carel van Wieringen - an impressive 20 letters! But name size aside, Pim (as he shall now be known) just bet 1,700 into a pot of 3,000 on the river of a {6-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}{K-Spades} board. Opponent Christoph Berti considered making the call, but ultimately opted for the fold. Berti still has his head above the surface, however, with 17,275.

A Quick Shout-Out

England's Colin Fortey has requested a shout-out for his three kids: (he's lucky, three is our shout-out limit for offspring) Shannon, Connor and Niamh, and he also snuck in girlfriend Tina onto the list too.

Poker wise, Colin is currently on 15,650 having "played just a few small pots and received no big pairs."

It should also be noted that Colin was first in the queue for the buffet, leaving his table a few minutes early in order to 'beat the traffic'. Very shrewd move.

Moscati Busts

Vincent Moscati is out after getting his chips in on the river of a {10-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} board; his opponent Alex Varga flipped {5-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} for a flush, and banging his fist on the table Moscati mucked and left.

Gandrup Down to Half His Stack

Rasmus Gandrup is down to around 7,500 after getting involved with Gerard Deckers.

With 6,000 in the pot by the turn of the {5-Spades} {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {5-Hearts} board, Deckers bet out 3,000 from the small blind position, leaving Gandrup with a tough decision to make. He took his time over it, and eventually, shaking his head, decided to fold.
