Storms Doubled Already

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

888poker ambassador Natalie Hof has taken her seat at the table during the second level of the day.

Over in the red section of the Brasilia room, Mathijs Storm has doubled already and he smiled when the reporting team walked past him.

"Set over set" he shrugged. "I'll take it."

He was kind enough to recount what had happened:

During the first level of the day, the player in the under-the-gun position limped in. The player in early position raised to 150. Storms three-bet to 600 from the cutoff with {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. Both of his opponents called.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and they all checked through to the {2-Diamonds} on the turn. Storms' opponents both checked again. Storms bet 700, the under-the-gun player raised to 3,000. The player in the early position called. Storms effectively jammed for 8,500. The under-the-gun player called with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}, the early position player folded {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for 5k more.

The river was the {j-Diamonds}.

Achraf Loses a Small Pot

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

There were two limps in front, before Ben Achraf squeezed in middle position to 550. Everyone else passed, before the two callers, made up the difference and the flop was dealt.

{6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades}

It was a dry board and following two checks, Achraf continued for another 550. He was immediately three-bet to 1,250, which was enough to push Ashraf off the pot.

Big Blind: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Christian Pham: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, Pham's opponent flopped a set to win the pot. Pham was left behind with less than 3,000.
