Schemion Moves In on the River

Frank Visser

Level 12 : Blinds 3,500/7,000, 875 ante

The action folded around to Ole "wizowizo" Schemion in the small blind and he made a raise to 28,000. Dalton "daltonhb" Hobold was sitting in the big blind and made the call.

A small bet of 14,910 followed from Schemion on the 3♦Q♣3♥ flop and Hobold called. The J♠ turn then appeared and Schemion fired another bet, this time for 52,500 chips. Once more, Hobold obliged with a call.

On the 5♦ turn, Schemion moved all in for 273,014, and this sizing was finally large enough for Hobold to let his hand go.

"abythus1950" raised to 14,000 and was met by a three-bet from Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi to 45,500 from the next seat over. Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams was sitting in the hijack and made a cold four-bet to 84,840, after which the action folded back to Bruschi.

The latter then put his stack of 332,863 at risk by moving all in. This sent Adams into a short tank, after which he folded his hand, leading to a decent chip-up for Bruschi without a showdown.

Level 12 : Blinds 3,500/7,000, 875 ante

Mark "AceSpades11" Radoja raised to 14,000 from the cutoff before Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira put all of hic 141,857 chips in from the small blind. It then folded back to Radoja, who called with the covering stack.

Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira: A♠K♠
Mark "AceSpades11" Radoja: K♥K♦

The flop of K♣7♦3♥ spelled disaster for Ferreira and the 10♣ turn meant he had no chance to win the hand. The 5♣ river was dealt to complete the board and Ferreira took his exit from the table, but was spotted at another table with a fresh 250,000 stack not long after.

Level 11 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

Igor "Garrin4e" Yaroshevskyy opened the action with a raise to 12,000 from the hijack and "DingeBrinker" made it 36,000 to go from the button.

Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden: 7♦7♣
"DingeBrinker": Q♦9♦

The flop remained safe for Vousden with 8♦2♣5♣, but the 9♦ turn saw "DingeBrinker hit one of his overcards. The 4♣ river saw Vousden disappear from the table, but he swiftly returned to the same seat with a fresh starting stack of 250,000.

Level 11 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

Vicente "vicenfish" Delgado raised to 12,000 from under the gun and found a caller in Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden, who was sitting in the small blind.

The flop of 6♦2♥K♥ saw Vousden check-call an 11,633 bet from Delgado before both players checked the 3♣ turn. Vousden then led out on the 6♠ river for a massive 72,000, more than the pot. Delgado snap called and his K♦J♥ beat out the K♣8♣ of Vousden by virtue of his kicker.
