Noam Doubles Up

Jacob Wilson

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In the cutoff, Rob Hollink raised it up to 9,000, before getting three-bet by small blind Danny Noam, who chose a sizing of 22,000. Without much deliberation, Hollink, covering Noam, then shoved for 113,00 effective, a bet that was snapped off by Noam.

Danny Noam: A♣K♣ All in
Rob Hollink: A♥Q♣

Hollink was in bad shape, and the K♥7♠8♦ flop had his equity plunge even further. The 5♠ turn sealed the deal for Noam, meaning the Q♠ river was nothing but a needle to Hollink

Player	Chips	Progress
Danny Noam	234,000 93,000	93,000
Rob Hollink	85,000 38,500	38,500

Randal Heeb: 10♥10♠ All in
David Stamm: 9♥9♦

The J♠5♣6♠4♥K♦ board was completely safe for Heeb, as he gets himself back above the precious 20 big blind mark.

David Stamm opened up the action to 9,000 from under the gun, before seeing a three-bet to 22,000 from Antonin Teisseire on his direct left. The two were the only players to see a flop.

When the board came out 5♥2♣5♦ Stamm check raised Teisseire's bet of 17,000 to 35,000. Teisseire quickly put in the call. On the 4♠ turn, Teisseire was checked to again, and this time went larger, as he shoved for enough to put Stamm all in. Stamm snap folded, as Teisseire showed that he had air, with K♥J♥
