Frank Visser
Frank Visser
Level 4 : Blinds 800/1,600, 200 ante

"I Attack95" opened the action with a raise to 3,360 from under the gun. "Nacho12441" then put in a three-bet to 11,200 from middle position before Dominik "Bounatirou" Nitsche cold four-bet to 25,600 from the big blind.

"I Attack95" quickly folded, but "Nacho124441" looked Nitsche up. The Q♣4♦9♥ flop fell and Nitsche fired another 14,240 into the pot and was met with another call from "Nacho124441". The 8♦ turn then saw Nitsche slow down with a check before he called the 21,360 bet from his opponent.

The Q♠ completed the board on the river and once again Nitsche checked. "Nacho124441" then put Nitsche all-in for his remaining 109,158 stack and the German bracelet-winner quickly folded.

Double Check-Raise Sees "VeTaSe" Victorious Over Loeliger
Double Check-Raise Sees "VeTaSe" Victorious Over Loeliger

"VeTaSe" raised to 3,520 from middle position and Linus "LLinusLLove" Loeliger flat-called from the button. The pair went to the flop of Q♣10♣9♥, on which Loeliger bet 4,480 chips after a check from "VeTaSe". The latter then made the call before the 4♥ turn appeared.

"VeTaSe" then checked again and Loeliger put forth a bet of 14,400. This time, "VeTaSe" did not deem that amount high enough and raised it up to 50,400. Loeliger looked him up and the 9♠ river completed the board.

"VeTaSe" appeared to slow down with a check, to which Loeliger responded with a bet of 60,400. However, "VeTaSe" had one final trick up their sleeve when they put in a second consecutive check-raise, this time for their entire stack of 315,785.

Loeliger only had a few seconds remaining in his time bank, and he made the fold just before those ran out as well, awarding the pot to his crafty opponent.

The action folded to Stevan "random_chu" Chew in the small blind, who limped in. "DrawindDead" checked in the big blind and put forth the minimum bet of 1,600 on the 8♠2♥9♦ flop after a check from Chew. Chew then called and check-called the 6,400 bet on the Q♣ turn as well.

DrawindDead completed the triple barrel on the 2♣ river, but this time Chew thought better of it and check-folded his hand, relinquishing the pot to his opponent.

Level 3 : Blinds 700/1,400, 175 ante

Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson raised to 3,220 from the cutoff and faced a 11,200 three-bet from button "Top Grind" shortly thereafter. Mattson then proceeded to check-call the 12,950 continuation-bet that "Top Grind" put out on the 9♥J♣7♦ flop.

Mattsson checked again on the 5♠ turn and Top Grind decided on a pot-sized bet of 51,800. After thinking it over for a few seconds, Mattsson made the call. The 8♥ river completed the board and both players checked in quick succession. Mattsson showed 9♦8♦ for rivered two pair, and it was enough to take down the pot when "Top Grind" mucked their holdings.
