Widmann Heating Up

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Twitch hero Alan "Hotted89" Widmann, winner of the Unibet Open London eSports Battle Royal is enjoying his foray at the poker tables so far. Marcus Pihlajamaa opened to 1,250 from the small blind and Widmann called to see a flop.

The flop was {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Pihlajamaa checked. Widmann casually flicked in 1,100 and Pihlajamaa called. Both players checked the {K-Hearts} on the turn and {8-Clubs} on the river.

Pihlajamaa confidently showed {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} but Widmann had him with {K-Spades}{2-Spades}. With a smile, the streamer raked in another pot.

No Ace-King for Moolhuizen

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

Two-time Unibet Open winner Mateusz Moolhuizen and Klaus Buchwald already build a pot of over 7,000 when the flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Moolhuizen continued with a bet of 2,100 and Buchwald called in position.

Moolhuizen slowed down and checked the {3-Clubs} on the turn. Buchwald bet 3,000 and the Dutchman made the call.

The river was the {K-Spades} and Moolhuizen checked again.

"Ahh, ace-king?", Buchwald asked with a wry smile, before quickly checking as well.

Moolhuizen didn't have ace-king but showed {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for a near immortal set of kings. Buchwald let out a chuckle and mucked his hand.

"No ace-king", smiled Moolhuizen as he raked in the chips.

With three players active and already substantial action earlier, the board read {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Ghattas Kortas checked. Rasmus Glaesel, who made the final table at the PokerStars Championship Bahama's earlier this year, checked as well, which prompted Marcus Vertling to move in for his last 6,025.

Kortas folded and Glaesel considered his options. Getting 3 to 1 on a call, the Dane called it off.

Rasmus Glaesel: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Marcus Vertling: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The river was the {A-Hearts} and Vertling more than tripled up.
