Dominik Nitsche Joins a Tough Table

[user169505]

Dominik Nitsche has just been moved onto a tough table that includes WSOP bracelet winners Erik Cajelais, Sam Stein and Joe Ebanks. Lucikly for Nitsche the table is one of tables scheduled to break very soon. The wee german is up to 11,900 after winning this hand.

Erik Cajelais raised to 300 in the hijack seat and Nitsche three-bet on the button making it 900 to play. The blinds folded and Cajelais decided to see the flop. The flop was {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} {5-Diamonds} and a 825 Nitsche c-bet did the trick.

Giannetti Double Up

[user169505]

Matt Giannetti has just found a double up to survive at the beginning of level three. There was a standard raise from the hijack and Giannetti three-bet to 500 from the big blind and his opponent called. The flop was {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {6-Spades} and Giannetti bet 1,200 and his opponent called. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and Giannetti moved all-in for 1,800 and his opponent called.

Showdown

Giannetti
Random Guy

Giannetti was a monster favourite and the river didn't change anything so Giannetti doubles and eliminated his opponent at the same time.

O'Shea Wins a Small One From Eames and Vanessa Selbsts Busts

[user169505]

We arrived at the Selbst, Eames and O'Shea table and there was an empty space that used to house Vanessa Selbst. We were going to ask John Eames what happened but he got involved in this hand.

Eames raised to 225 from the cut-off and John O'Shea called on the button. The flop was {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} {3-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn was the {A-Clubs} and Eames bet 400 and O'Shea called. The river was the {10-Diamonds} and both players decided a showdown was the best course of action and it was O'Shea that won the hand.

McLean Karr Arrives And Then Departs!

[user169505]

McLean Karr was a late starter today and he was eliminated not too long after.

Player 33/6 raised under the gun and McLean Karr three-bet from the big blind. Player 33/6 moved all-in and Karr called for his remaining 3,300.

Showdown

Player 33/6
Karr

Board: {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {5-Clubs} {3-Hearts}

"Who is that guy? Is he famous?" Asks the triumphant player.

"That's McLean Karr, he has won a bit of money playing poker," I tell him.

"Tell him who I am!" He says.

So McLean if you are reading this, you were beaten by Player 33/6!

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

328 players started today and after three full levels we've already lost 139 players. The starting stacks aren't that deep creating a lot of early action, as play goes on we expect the pace to slow down. The average stack is 7,810 chips.

Krakow Gets Aces to Fold

Happy_Freaked

Matan Krakow started the final table of the €2,500 6-Max event as chip leader but didn't manage to live up to his goal of winning. He ended up in fourth place cashing €65,068 but today he's back and ready to go!

On a {Q-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {2-Spades} flop his opponent bet out 575 and Krakow decided to raise to 1,150. "Do you show if I fold," his opponent asked but Krakow remained silent. After a while he folded showing {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} and Krakow mucked his cards raking in a pot.

Martins Adeniya Joins The Cast

[user169505]

We may be losing players quicker than Long John Silver loses his legs but we are also getting some late arrivals. One such player is Martins Adeniya and he just picked up a little pot before everyone was moved out of Majestic #2 room.

Adeniya raised to 225 on the button and both blinds called. The flop was {10-Spades} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts} and Adeniya c-bet 225 and just the small blind hung around for the turn. The turn was the {J-Spades} and the small blind led for 500 but Adeniya pumped it up to 1,200 and the small blind snap-folded.
