Stop! Hammer Time

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Do you know the name Manfred Hammer? The studious among you might be able to recall that he made the final table of EPT Baden back in Season 4 winning €105,000 when Julian Thew took home the title. Hammer is a regular to King's Casino these days with a long string of cashes.

He just got a bit unlucky on the river of a {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{A-Clubs} board after calling a 1,800 bet on the turn against Martin Fric. Both players had checked and Hammer showed {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} but he'd have to chop with Fric's {A-Spades}{5-Spades} after the ten was counterfeited on the end.

Zhu Makes Straight Flush

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
King's Casino, Rozvadov
King's Casino, Rozvadov

With the board reading {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} Shengchao Zhu bet 1,525 only for Steffen Endres raise to 7,500. Zhu thought briefly and moved all in with Endres making a quick call.

Endres: {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for the nut-flush draw
Zhu: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for the open-ended straight flush draw

Neither player had a made hand but Endres was still ahead and around a 60% favourite against Zhu's big draw. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn changed things, giving Zhu a straight and now Patzner needed a heart to eliminate his opponent.

The river was a heart, but it wasn't the one the German player wanted to see - the {8-Hearts}. This gave Zhu a straight flush and he doubled up to 50,000.
