Poker Versus Basketball

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Quentin Lecomte was standing next to our media desk, not because he is out but the Frenchman was watching the basketball match France versus Spain in the last two minutes of the clash at the European Championships. France was down by three points and took a time out with 16 seconds to go, Lecomte went back to his table.

Wubkes Finds Chips

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Peter Jesko moved all in for his last 5,600 chips and Dian Wubkes called from two seats over with Eric Rapp coming along from one seat over, the players in the blinds folded.

On the {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} flop, Wubkes shoved for her last 12,400 and was snap-called by Rapp with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for top pair and top kicker. Wubkes however had the {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a set, Jesko shook his head while flipping over the {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}. It was all ovr after the {J-Diamonds} turn and Wubkes more than doubled up back above starting stack after a meaningless {7-Hearts} river.

No Naalden Anymore

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The short stack grind has come to an end. About 10 minutes ago, Marc Naalden had claimed the blinds and antes with a raise to 2,100 but now the Dutchman came off the wrong end of a coin flip. He reshoved with {A-}{K-} into the pocket threes of an opponent and the latter immediately spiked a three to shut down all hopes of a comeback.

Catching Up With the Feature Table

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Roman Sydorenko was over on the feature table with a rather short stack and had a premium hand in ace-king given such a scenario. However, he didn't get it in preflop but just on the turn of an ace-high board. Markus Heikkils held the {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for flopped two pair and the river brought another ace to send Sydorenko packing.

The live stream is on a delay of 30 minutes, thus it only now aired.

Shove at the Wrong Time

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Dmitry Varlamov
Dmitry Varlamov

Passing by the table, we just overheard the "seat open table nine" and that referred to the exit of Dmitry Varlamov. As per table chat, the Russian four-bet jammed with {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for just over 20 big blinds and was called by Benjamin Vestergaard with the {A-}{K-}.

The {4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop was as dry as you can get with two live cards and an ace on the turn brought the tournament for the Unibet Open regular to an end.

The Wrong Read

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

After the {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} turn, Loic Francois faced a bet worth 3,000 by Lars Vangen and reluctantly called only to see the Norwegian move all in as soon as the {3-Hearts} river had completed the board. Francois ended up calling it off and then facing the {J-Spades}{8-Spades} for 7,100 more.

He nodded and then revealed his inferior {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to lose some of the recent profit.

The Bloemsma Exit

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

According to Peter Harkes, Wesley Bloemsma got it in with {J-}{10-} for top pair only to see Loic Francois look him up with pocket kings for the over pair in order to bust the Dutchman. Harkes himself was also not as fortunate, as he dropped about 30 big blinds compared to the last count we had on him after running into a flopped set that turned into a full house.

Giangrasso in the Tank

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

While Anthony Giangrasso tanked for a good three minutes and also did so before check-calling the {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} for 6,000, about five players were sent to the rail. Among those were Paul Testud and Kanstantsin Kamenka, Giangrasso still tanked on the {6-Spades} river.

He even carefully counted out his stack after taking off his sunglasses when being faced with a bet worth 11,000 by Bjoern Olav Boe, the Norwegian had just about the same amount of chips behind. Eventually Gilbert Diaz asked for time and that wish was granted, Giangrasso made the call after about 30 seconds. Boe showed him {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a set and the Frenchman mucked instantly.
