Jorgensen checked, Salsberg continued for 80,000, and Jorgensen check-raised to 105,000. Salsberg instantly called.

The turn was the {7-Clubs}, Jorgensen led for 250,000, and Salsberg immediately called again.

The {8-Diamonds} completed the board, and Jorgensen gave up, checking to Salsberg who instantly checked behind.

Jorgensen Makes Another Full House

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Theo Jorgensen
Theo Jorgensen

Philipp Gruissem limped in from the small blind holding {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Theo Jorgensen checked with {q-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and the flop fell {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Gruissem led out, Jorgensen called, and the turn was the {4-Diamonds}. Gruissem led again, Jorgensen called, and the {q-Clubs} completed the board.

Gruissem fired a third bullet worth 375,000 (into a pot of around 400,000), and Jorgensen went into the tank. After a few seconds, Jorgensen raised to 1 million, and Gruissem reached for a handful of plaques. The German sat quietly, plaques in hand, then pump-faked them into the pot. He then began tapping them on the rail and smiling.

Finally, Gruissem thought better of it and folded his hand.

Jorgensen Bluffs the River

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Philipp Gruissem, holding {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades} check-called a bet from Theo Jorgensen, holding two black fours, with the board reading {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and Gruissem check-called another bet - this one was worth 200,000.

The river was the {9-Diamonds}, counterfeiting Jorgensen, and Gruissem checked a third time. Jorgensen fired one final bet worth 300,000, and Gruissem went into the tank. The German started to call, but then stopped, and re-entered the tank. He eventually folded, and Jorgensen showed him the bluff.

Matt Salsberg

Matt Salsberg raised to 140,000 on the button with {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, Theo Jorgensen three-bet from the big blind holding {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and Salsberg called. The flop was {4-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, Jorgensen led out for 300,000, and Salsberg quickly called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts}, and Jorgensen led again - this time for 750,000. Salsberg sat quietly, riffling his chips, then looked at his stack. He grabbed a handful of T100,000 plaques, added a few blue T25,000 chips, and after more than three minutes in the tank, he called.

The {10-Diamonds} completed the board, and Jorgensen gave up, checking to Salsberg who instantly checked behind.

Salsberg was relieved to see that he had the best hand, and happily raked in the pot.
