Pointer Nearly Doubles Through Vazquez Without Showdown

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With around 18,000 in the middle to the J♠7♠7♦ flop, Luis Vazquez checked from under the gun and John Pointer bet 6,200 on the button. Vazquez called and checked again the 6♣ turn to then call a bet of 25,000 by Pointer.

That led them to the Q♦ river on which Vazquez bet 52,000. Pointer tanked while checking his stack behind of around 69,000. When he made the move and jammed, a frustrated Vazquez snap-folded and gasped, "Can't you do that faster?"

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Fernando Rodriguez opened from the hijack and picked up two callers in Simeon Tsonev on the button & Leon Sturm in the big blind.

They went to a flop of K♣5♠4♥, where the action checked to Tsonev, who fired 3,100. Sturm called and Rodiguez folded.

Both then checked to showdown on the Q♦Q♥ runout, and Sturm flipped over 8♦5♥ for a pair of fives. Tsonev had that beat with 6♥6♣ for a pair of sixes, which meant his stack grew to around 165,000.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Kyna England opened to 2,000 in early position and Robert Fechser three-bet to 4,200 from a couple of seats over. The action folded back to England who four-bet to 11,000 which Fechser called.

The flop came A♥J♠2♦ and England led out with a bet of 6,000. Fechser called and the 10♣ landed on the turn. England fired out another bet of 16,000 and Fechser stuck around for the 6♦ on the river.

England counted out a third barrel of 25,000 and Fechser went into the tank for around three minutes. He eventually called and England tabled A♠K♦, the same for Fechser with A♦K♥, to split the pot.
