Jens Lakemeier Looks to Prove His Knowlege of Limit Games

Less than one week ago, Jens Lakemeier proved his knowledge of the big-bet mixed games by taking down his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet in Event #59: $2,500 Big Bet Mix.

Just a few days ago, he took his shot at Event #62: $50,000 Poker Player's Championship. Lakemeier did not make the money in that event, but he's still looking to prove that, not only does he have knowledge of the big-bet mixed games, but also the limit mixed games, as well. He's doing his best to make that statement by entering in this event.

Lakemeier will have to be at the top of his game, because also at his table is renowned mixed game expert Adam Owen, as well as Andrew Kelsall, who has already made the final table of three mixed-game events this summer, including the Big Bet Mix that Lakemeier won.

Kelsall and Lakemeier were recently involved in a pot together.

Kelsall: {x-}{x-} / {2-}{A-}{4-}
Lakemeier: {x-}{x-} / {2-}{7-}{9-}

Kelsall completed and was raised by Lakemeier. Kelsall called. On fourth street, Kelsall bet, and Lakemeier called. On fifth, Kelsall bet one more time, and Lakemeier let his hand go, awarding the pot to Kelsall.

"I can show you one," Kelsall said. He turned up a {3-} and scooped the pot, keeping his other card face-down.

Lakemeier has built up a nice stack already on Day 1 and will look to continue building on his way to a deep run here in Event #69.
