Andre Haneberg
Andre Haneberg

Andre Haneberg raised to 2,600 from the hijack and action folded to Jesper Feddersen in the small blind who shoved. The player in the big blind asked how much it was and while the dealer was counting it out, he folded. The decision was on Haneberg now. He also asked how much it was and the dealer confirmed it was 27,400. He grabbed some chips and put them in as a call.

Andre Haneberg: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Jesper Feddersen: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} - no help for Feddersen and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Jaksland Fighting

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

An armada from Denmark has made it to Hamburg to participate in the High Roller and among the biggest names from those is Peter Jaksland. The Dane was up mid way through the day but has since dropped back below starting stack.

Thang Duc Nguyen raised to 3,000 in the cutoff and Jaksland called in the big blind to see a flop of {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Both players checked before Jaksland bet the {3-Clubs} turn for 5,000, forcing a fold from Nguyen.

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Tom Holke

May 2015. The month and year that a PokerStars event first took place in Hamburg, and specifically in Casino Schenefeld. The inaugural German Eureka Poker Tour event was a great success and so we returned last year to rinse and repeat. And here we are again for a third year but under a different guise. The Eureka Poker is no more but nothing has been lost and we return under the PokerStars Festival banner.

Montagnolli Gone; Bach Busts Behrens

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Florian Bach
Florian Bach

The cards were all but rushed away and Daniel Montagnolli left his table with a mix of pain and smile, then delivered the details of his final hand. According to Montagnolli, Toni Vardjavand three-bet on the button and Montagnolli called in the small blind.

On a {10-}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, Montagnolli bet and called the shove of Vardjavand with pocket nines to see the latter turn over {Q-}{J-} only. An ace on the turn and a king on the river gave Vardjavand the nut straight and another player on the table joked "so that's how you win tournaments".

The miracle comeback of Florian Bach continues as well after he just sent Hermann Behrends to the rail. Bach bet a {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop from the button for 7,800 and Behrends moved all in for 29,500. Bach called after some consideration and tabled {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for the over pair, while Behrends was drawing with {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

With the {A-Clubs} turn, the sweat got even bigger, but the {7-Hearts} river was a blank to send Behrends to the rail.

Sonmez Versus [Removed:72]

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

In a pot of about 6,600, both Erkan Sonmez and [Removed:65] were involved. The flop read {A-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts} and [Removed:72] had check-called the 2,200 bet of Sonmez.

The {8-Diamonds} came on the turn and [Removed:72] check-called again when Sonmez had bet but now for an amount of 5,000.

The river completed the board with the {J-Clubs}, [Removed:72] checked once more. Now Sonmez bet 11,700 which meant that if [Removed:72] called and lost, he would have about 1 or 2 big blinds left. So [Removed:72] went into the tank and cut out the chips he needed if he wanted to make the call. Unhappily he looked at the board again and at what he still had behind if he made the call. In the end, he folded.

Miri Busts De Lemmi

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Sebo Degermenci check-raised a turn of {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} from 5,600 to 17,500 against Martin Wendt and forced a fold from the Dane. One table over, Aleksandar Tomovic built his stack without showdown while Emanuele De Lemmi joined the rail.

After giving up a four-way hand on the flop against Hamza Miri, he shoved for the last 15,500 and Miri tank-called after plenty of consideration.

Emanuele De Lemmi: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Hamza Miri: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and De Lemmi was gone.
