Big Stacks Next to Each Other

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Heidi May has just dragged a pot and was getting a little bit of teasing from another player. “You going to play tight now.”

There was no response from May as she was far too busy constructing a tower of chips.

Sat to her right and still top of the heap is Valentin Vornicu.

Melvin Hoelzle Has to Wait to Double

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

There was an open to 3,400 before it got to Melvin Hoelzle who moved all in for just under 30,000. Action folded back to the raiser who went deep in the tank. The stacks were pretty close but it was Hoelzle who was the player at risk.

Several minutes ticked by and, although it was a big decision, the time taken was a little long and another player called the clock. The floor arrived and gave the 30 seconds speech and, as the count reached six, the player called and tabled .

Hoelzle turned over .

The board ran out .

Hoelzle had to wait for the call but he was rewarded in the end with a double-up.
