Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Over in the Horseshoe Ballroom, the turn showed K♠10♦2♦10♠ and Louis Ganser checked from the small blind. Tim Gerwig in the cutoff bet 2,500 and Ganser called. They checked the Q♣ river and Ganser announced aces, flashing the A♦A♥ to win the pot.

One table over, big stack Victor Fryda fired a second barrel for 4,000 on the Q♥10♥5♠7♠ turn and his opponent in the blinds called. After the 6♣ river, they checked and Fryda's Q♣J♥ won the pot as his opponent had missed the flopped open-ender.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

PokerNews was waved over to a table where a massive hand was in process between four-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeff Madsen and Seth Fass.

The board showed 4♠8♣6♦10♣3♦ with a bloated pot and Madsen was all in for approximately 40,000 against Fass, who had position and would’ve been at risk with a call if he lost the hand.

Fass was deliberating his next move before he eventually made the call and he promptly tabled his hand.

Seth Fass: Q♠Q♣ All in

“Good call,” said Madsen, who saw Fass' pocket queens before showing Ax and mucking his hand.

While Madsen's second card is unknown, Fass recounted some of the action for PokerNews.

Fass said he raised preflop and got four callers, including Madsen. Fass’ three other opponents had cleared out by the turn, where Fass said Madsen led into him with a 7,500 bet. Fass said he flatted Madsen’s bet on the turn, which set up the river action of Madsen moving all in and Fass making the call with his pocket queens.

Fass scored a huge pot to boost his chip stack, while Madsen’s stack was decimated.

Seth Fass	143,000

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

There were around 50,000 chips in the pot on a board of 8♥J♣2♠A♣7♦ when Robert Renald shoved for just over 30,000 chips. The decision was on the player in seat nine who was taking so long that the table called the clock. The floor arrived and when the countdown got to one second remaining, Renald's opponent called.

Renald tabled 10♦9♥ for the nuts with a straight, with his opponent having flipped 8♠8♦ for a set.

Foxen and Newman checked the 6♣ turn for the K♥ to fall on the river. After Foxen checked for the final time, Newman bet 3,000. Foxen thought for a few moments before raising to 20,000. Newman snap-called and was shown 9♦9♣ by Foxen for a full house.

They checked the 10♥ on the turn and the 6♠ river brought with it a bet worth 4,200 by Cucchiara's opponent, which won the pot without resistance.

David Peters raised to 800 from early position and was called by the player in middle position. Both players checked the 5♦4♣8♥ flop before Peters bet 2,400 on the 2♥ turn.

The player in middle position called and called again when Peters placed another 2,400 chips on the 10♦ river. Peters tabled 10♥7♥ for a rivered pair of tens and took down the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Relayed to PokerNews from Ludovic Geilich's table, Geilich opened to 700 in the hijack and both the cutoff and button called before Nuno Mafra put in a three-bet to 7,700 from the small blind. Geilich clicked it with a four-bet to 13,500, forcing the cutoff and button to fold and Mafra jammed all-in. Geilich had about 35,000 total and made the call.

Ludovic Geilich: AxQx All in
Nuno Mafra: KxKx

Geilich was unable to find an ace as the board ran out 9x3x3x9x8x and he was eliminated.
