Grimm End for Achim

Achim Grimm
Achim Grimm
Achim Grimm has been eliminated. I didn't catch his exit hand, but I do recall him telling me about a dramatic hand from earlier on. According to the horse's mouth, he was all in at one point with pocket tens versus nines, the flop bringing a nine, but justice prevailing with a straight by the river. This put him back up to 13,500, but sadly, he was unable to continue that upward motion and will probably be looking for the nearest bar.

Ouch

As I neared table three, I noticed Georgi Gochev all in and clasping onto his cards as if they were gold dust. Meanwhile, Kenny Hallaert and Trevor Neufeld were busy creating a side pot, Neufeld leading the way with a bet of 6,000 into a flop of {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{Q-Spades}.

Neufeld hesitated momentarily, as if contemplating a call, before surprising everyone and moving all in. A befuddled Hallaert dropped his head into his hands.

As Neufeld remained statuesque under pressure, Hallaert counted out the necessary chips and hovered them around the line, torturing himself in the process. After a good couple of minutes of teasing, he eventually announced that he could be making a bad call, and pushed the chips over the line.

"Good call," complimented Neufeld as he revealed {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Hallaert flipped over {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. But it was the short stack who had the goods, Gochev was surprised as anyone to see his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} ahead of both opponents.

As the {7-Spades} turn was dealt, there were a few slight gasps, some perhaps even enjoying the mere threat of a cruel bad beat. But, in the end, that threat became a reality when a gut-wrenching {9-Hearts} hit the felt, and those slight gasps soon turned into a chorus of wows and winces.

As Gochev left the table, a stunned Hallaert returned to his now 8,500 stack, his head still shaking from the defeat.

Istvan to Be Alone

A raising war between Istvan Pap in early position and Otto Göschl on the button resulted in Pap all in and called before the flop.

Pap: {6-Spades} {6-Hearts}
Göschl: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

Board: a harmless {K-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {3-Spades} {Q-Spades} {2-Diamonds} to send Pap to the rail.

Brrr, It's Chilly in Here

Mark Schouten, victor of yesterday's €300 PLO event, raised it up from the button and then called the 11,000 push from Stephan Kernig in the big blind. Bit of a cooler:

Schouten: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
Kernig: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

The flop looked like the hand might be a bigger cooler than anyone thought:

Flop: {5-Spades} {9-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

But a harmless {8-Hearts} on the turn and {7-Hearts} on the river doubled Kernig up to 22,000.
