Sontheimer Massively Coolers Roy

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante
Steffen Sontheimer
Steffen Sontheimer

With 23,000 in the pot and the board completed at {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, all the chips flew in the middle between Steffen Sontheimer and Jonathan Roy. It was Sontheimer who was all in for 53,850 and Roy who had him barely covered.

Steffen Sontheimer: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Jonathan Roy: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

Roy's jacks full was crushed by Sontheimers quads, which left the Canadian with 6,000 when the dust had settled.

Gruissem Can't Get O'Dwyer Out

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Philipp Gruissem and Steve O'Dwyer built a massive pot preflop of about 20,000 and Gruissem checked a {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop from under the gun. O'Dwyer bet 7,600 and Gruissem shoved all in a little over halfway through his timer. It was 33,600 more and O'Dwyer flicked in a call after his timer was almost out.

O'Dwyer: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Gruissem: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

"Mine is better," Gruissem said with a smile, wiggling the {k-Hearts}.

No hearts would come into play as the {4-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} river meant a chop.

"What price were you getting?" Gruissem asked.

"I didn't do the math fast enough and I didn't want to use a time bank," O'Dwyer said.

Baumgarten On The River

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Three players saw an {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop together. Akin Tuna and Frank Williams checked to Joao Baumgarten, who bet 2,000. Both players came along with the call. All players then checked the {A-Spades} on the turn.

Tuna checked the {9-Spades} on the river to Williams, who bet 8,500. However, Baumgarten had something planned as he came up with a raise to 22,000. Tuna shrugged and folded, while Williams committed the call.

Baumgarten showed {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} for a rivered straight, enough to take it down as Williams got rid of his hand.

Mateos Stacking Heaps

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

The community had come {8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} at Adrian Mateos' table, and a player under the gun bet 3,500. Mateos called on the button, and Norbert Szecsi tank-folded in the big blind. The first player opened {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for trips, rendering Mateos' own {j-Hearts} useless. However, the {10-Hearts} he had with it made a straight, and he collected the pot.

The Spanish tournament star has well over two starting stacks already, and his super aggressive style means that's bad news for his foes.
