Lorenz On Top

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante
Patrick Lorenz
Patrick Lorenz

The board read {J-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Fredrik Andersson was getting up from his seat. The dealer was counting the stacks of Patrick Lorenz and Christoph Cajochen as their stacks were pretty even. It seems that they all had gone all in at some point in this hand.

Fredrik Andersson had {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} so he had hit a pair of queens on the flop but didn't improve that afterward.

Christoph Cajochen had {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and he had hit a set of jacks on the flop and didn't improve that either.

Patrick Lorenz was victorious as he had {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} as he had flopped a straight against his two opponents on the flop already and there was no danger on the turn or the river.

After the dealer had counted the stacks of Lorenz and Cajochen, he confirmed that Lorenz had the slightly bigger stack and Cajochen was left behind with only 200.

A Short Day at the Office

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Only a few minutes ago Jan Timo Jobmann lost one third of his stack to Walid Abdi Ali and the remaining chips vanished soon after to the very same direction. Jobmann was the initial raiser and Abdi called, as did another player.

On a {K-}{J-Spades}{6-Spades} flop, the third player in the hand bet 700 and Jobmann raised to 2,200, which only Ali called. An {9-} appeared on the turn and Jobmann got his last 6,000 in with king-jack for top two only to see Ali quickly call with {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} for the straight and additional flush draw.

The river was a blank and Abdi finished the job he started not long ago.

Ali Takes Jobmann to Value Town

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante
Walid Abdi Ali
Walid Abdi Ali

In a battle small blind versus button, Walid Ali Abdi three-bet an open raise by Jan Timo Jobmann and continued for 1,400 on the {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, which Jobmann called. On the {7-Diamonds} turn, Abdi made it 3,000 and received a call before firing a third barrel for 4,500 on the {A-Spades} river.

Jobmann gave it some thought and called, but quickly mucked when he was shown {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} for top two pair.

Lalor Doubles in a Flip

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

The vast majority of Joseph Lalor's stack was already in before the flop of {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and the Irishman got the rest of it in with Fynn Richter making the call and showing {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Lalor had that beat with {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and the {Q-Diamonds} turn and {7-Clubs} river left Richter with his head shaking and fewer than half the starting stack.

Theissen Shows Kings

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Below are assorted chip counts with Eric Theissen among the bigger stacks. He was involved in a raising war with Peter Meier and three-bet to 1,700. Meier squeezed to 5,150 in the bib blind and Theissen simply pushed forward a squeeze to 25,000 in order to give Meier the option to call all in or surrender with 12,500 behind.

Meier opted for the fold and was shown {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} by Theissen.
