Christian Zetzsche

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Rann Gets Shorter; Doubles Through Boulton

Christian Zetzsche

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Lukas Dimsa took a small chunk out of the stack of James Rann, who then defended the big blind against the under-the-gun raise by Joshua Boulton.

The flop came and Rann checked his option, which led to a bet worth 160,000 by Boulton. Rann check-raised to 400,000 and Boulton min-clicked to 640,000 only for Rann to shove. Only a few seconds passed and Boulton sigh-called with the slightly superior stack.
