Martin Staszko is fiddling with his remaining 13,425 chip stack which is half what he had the last time we checked in on him.
It’s hardly the end of the world though as that still represents 68 big blinds at this level and no doubt he has been in worse situations in his long and illustrious careers.
Ralph Nachbar opened for 525 and picked up a call from Thomas “The Talk” Traboulsi on the button and the player in the small blind. Eilar Andreas was in the big blind and raised to 2,700.
Nachbar asked to see how much he was playing before he called as did Traboulsi but the small blind folded.
The flop was and it was Nachbar who bet 3,600. Traboulsi called as did Andreas. The turn card was the and this time all three players checked.
The river was the and now Andreas moved all in. Nachbar shook his head and folded but Traboulsi called the 15,000 bet.
Andreas tabled but his two pair lost out to the straight of Traboulsi who on this occasion was completely silent but was soon chatting away again as Andreas hit the rail.
Zofia Mudrochova raised to 325 from the hijack. Johannes Gsuck called in the cutoff before Alexej Kasarinow raised to 1,025 from the small blind. Mudrochova and Gsuck both called.
The flop came . Kasarinow continued for 1,600 and Mudrochova was the only caller.
On the turn, Kasarinow bet 3,000 when the was dealt and his opponent called again.
The river was the and Kasarinow bet a third time, this time for 5,000. Mudrochova called.
Kasarinow showed for a flush, but Mudrochova had him beat holding for a full house, threes full of fives.
Joerg Peisert won a bracelet in the No Limit Hold'em - Triple Chance back in 2009, and has been playing a lot more at King's Casino recently, with a deep run in the PokerStars Festival Main Event last month.
In this hand a player opened from the hijack. The small blind called and Peisert defended his big blind.
The flop came and it checked to the pre-flop raiser who continued for 600. Both the small blind and Peisert called.
The turn was the . Again it checked to the raiser who bet 1,700, and Peisert was the only caller.
The river was another six, the and both players checked. The hijack turned over for a straight, but Peisert rolled over for a full house and scooped the pot.
