Manlove Doubles

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

James Manlove moved all in on the turn of a board reading {5-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for 25,950.

There was little hesitation from Robin Fisher in calling with his {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}.

Manlove had the best of it though with his {q-Spades}{10-Hearts} and it held as the river {8-Clubs} completed the board.

Level: 5

Blinds: 200/400

Ante: 50

Gruissem’s Cat. Call or Fold.

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The flop was {3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} and small blind Philipp Gruissem checked it over to Chis Da Silva who bet 2,500. Gruissem called and they both checked the turn {4-Clubs}.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and a check from Gruissem saw Da Silva take his time before betting a chunky 11,000. Off came the headphones and Gruissem was left scratching his head, vocally wondering if Da Silva could have Jacks? There was a bit of back and forth between the two players before Gruissem called.

Da Silva was bluffing with {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and as most of the table had guessed Gruissem showed {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}. Da Silva argued that it was a snap call but Gruissem disagreed. There followed a brief, slightly heated, discussion on the nature of reality and perception but no firm conclusions were agreed upon.

Farrell Check-Raises Turn

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Niall Farrell check-called a bet from Adrian Smith on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

The turn card was the {4-Clubs} and Farrell checked again to Smith who bet 2,500. Farrell sprang the check raise to 6,700. When Smith asked to see his stack he saw there was around 10,000 behind.

A quick look back at his cards before they headed to the muck and Farrell picked up a decent pot without showdown.

Mojave Doesn’t Like River

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Felipe ‘Mojave’ Ramos was staring at a board of {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

His opponent, Tony Blanchandin, had bet 10,000 which was close to pot sized. The dilemma for Ramos seemed to be that he had a good hand but only 22,000 left in his stack.

Ramos tried to get a read off his opponent but Blanchandin was calmly riffling his chips. About 5 minutes went by before chuckled to himself as he folded his cards to fight on another hand.
