Neurauter Doubles Up

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

The player in the under-the-gun position raised to 1,500 and action folded to Hannes Neurauter in the hijack. Neurauter thee-bet to 3,800 and everyone else folded back to the initial raiser, who called.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, the under-the-gun player put a whole stack in containing his biggest valued chips which effectively put Neurauter all-in. Neurauter snap-called.

Hannes Neurauter: {K-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Under-the-gun player: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Neurauter needed to avoid any ace, six or four to stay alive in the tournament. The turn and the river brought them the {q-Spades} and the {3-Clubs} so nothing there to hurt Neurauter. After the dealer counted his chips, she confirmed it was 7,875 in total. Naurauter's opponent counted out the chips and the dealer sent them Neurauter's way.

Boatman Eliminated Again

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

When the team got to the table we saw that three players had their cards open in front of them while the board was already being dealt.

Christopher Chaudey: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Barny Boatman: {A-}{Q-}
Third Player: {A-}{9-}

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} to give Chaudey two pair, kings and sevens, and two eliminations to his name, including the one of Boatman. Reentry period is still open for about 55 minutes, Boatman could decide to reenter again today or come back tomorrow for a fresh start.

Moolhuizen And Mamalepot Again

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Mateusz Moolhuizen managed to build up quite a stack and said he took quite a few of them from Claude Mamalepot. Now they were involved again in the same hand.

Mamalepot limped in from the under-the-gun position and action folded to Moolhuizen on the button. Moolhuizen raised to 2,000 and the blinds quickly got out of the way. Mamalepot called.

The flop came {9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, Mamalepot bet 1,200 and Moolhuizen called.

The turn brought them the {7-Clubs}, now Mamalepot bet 2,100 and Moolhuizen called again.

The river completed the board with the {Q-Clubs}, Mamalepot continued betting and now bet 3,000. Moolhuizen took a few seconds to think about his options but decided to fold.

Neurauter Down But Not Out

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Hannes Neurauter raised to 1,100 from the under-the-gun position. The player in the cutoff three-bet to 2,700 and action folded back to Neurauter who called.

The flop came {10-}{8-}{4-} (rainbow). Neurauter check-called the 2,700 bet of his opponent.

The turn brought them an {a-}, Neurauter check-called again but now it was on a 3,000 bet.

The river was a brick according to Neurauter, Neurauter checked again. His opponent decided to continue betting and bet 3,000 again and Neurauter called. His opponent showed {K-}{K-} and Neurauter mucked his own hand.
