Bisgard Doubles Up

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Anders Bisgard
Anders Bisgard

It seems like Bisgard had lost a big hand earlier this level as he had just gone all in from mid-position for 14,400 on a board that read {6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and was called by Peter Willkom who was sat in the under-the-gun position.

Willkom showed {Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a rivered straight but he was dominated by Bisgard who had {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a full house, tens over nines.

Angelo Benedetto
Angelo Benedetto

The board read {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} with a pot of about 12,000 already. Norbert Seefeldt bet 6,100 from the big blind and Angelo Benedetto was sitting in the tank from under-the-gun. After some careful consideration, he decided to make the call.

Seefeldt showed {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the missed straight draw and Benedetto knew he had made the right call as he turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} to take down the pot.

Munster's Aces Are Good

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Kai Munster raised to 2,700 from the under-the-gun position and was called by Rizkallah Kocheiche, in the hijack, and Juergen Boehm, in the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{J-Spades} on which they all checked to the {8-Clubs} on the turn. Boehm checked, Munster bet 4,500, Kocheiche called and Boehm now folded.

The river completed the board with the {5-Hearts} and both players checked. Munster tabled {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} for an overpair which was good enough to take down the pot.
