Two Tables In the Outer Room

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Antoine Saout is among the few remaining well known names in the outer room, as only two tables remain. Bjorn Wiesler just three-bet to 5,800 from the small blind and then folded with his short stack after initial raiser Kevin Ayow had moved all in. One hand later, Wiesler raised to 6,500 after one opponent had limped and that won him the pot.

Hunting the Big Stacks

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Throwback for de Clercq

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A player had just lost 30,000 chips with a race, failing to improve with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} against {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}. Matthias de Clercq then had the unfortunate timing to find bottom set against the very same player on a flop of {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} {A-Hearts} and paid off the 20,000-all in with {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds} only to see his opponent turn over the {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}.

Neither the {K-Diamonds} turn nor the {9-Hearts} river changed anything and de Clercq was thrown back to just over average stack.

Garbarino With Aces

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Sameh El Bolok moved all in for 30,200 chips and Stefano Garbarino went over the top from one seat over. Behind them, Jean Marie Vandeborne as well as Yves Senterre both folded with their big stacks and El Bolok flipped over {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. He was already walking away from the table though as soon as he spotted the {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} of the Italian.

There would be no upset on the {4-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {5-Spades} board and Garbarino jumped well above average.

Fechter Gets Shown Fist Pumps

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

On a flop of {9-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}, Jean Christophe Fechter made a bet of 7,500 and Jussi Matilla raised to 16,400. The Frenchman asked for a count of the reraise and then clicked it to 39,500. Matilla moved all in within a heartbeat for 99,100 and Fechter eventually folded after having the dealer cut out and count the shove.

As soon as the Frenchman had folded, Matilla jumped up, pumped his fists to a friend on the rail and said a few words in Finnish along with the "open ended" in English.

Boatman Making New Friends

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Over on table one, Barny Boatman raised to 2,400 from under the gun and was called by the player on the button. The {7-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} flop was checked through and Boatman then won the pot on the {7-Spades} turn when he made a continuation bet of 3,000. His opponent laughed and mucked the {4-Spades} {3-Spades}. "I am a fish," he said to the Brit and this fellow blogger on the rail.
