Reinkemeier Wins Without Showdown

On a {6-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop we saw Fung Cheung call a 30,000-chip bet from Tobias Reinkemeier. The German pro was in the big blind and proceeded to bet 48,000 on the turn which brought out the {8-Clubs}. Cheung tanked for a big before making the call.

On the river the {A-Hearts} hit and Reinkemeier bet 59,000. Cheung folded and Reinkemeier saw his stack increase some more.

Negreanu Busts Bonomo

Justin Bonomo
Justin Bonomo

Justin Bonomo has had a lot of success in large buy-in tournaments, but he won't be adding another cash to his record here in the €50,000 Majestic High Roller as he was just eliminated by Daniel Negreanu.

Action passed around the table to Bonomo in the cutoff seat, and he raised to 10,000. Negreanu made the call from the small blind while everyone else folded. From there, the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and Negreanu checked. Bonomo fired 17,000, and Negreanu called.

On fourth street, the {8-Diamonds} appeared and paired the board. Another check came from Negreanu before Bonomo bet 42,000. A minute passed, then Negreanu check-raised to 105,000. This sent Bonomo into the tank, and he thought for about two minutes before announcing that he was all in. The shove was for around 215,000 total, and Negreanu made the call.

Negreanu turned over the {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for trip eights to have Bonomo's {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} on the ropes. The river landed with the {Q-Spades}, and Bonomo was eliminated. Negreanu climbed to over 700,000 in chips.

Varlashin Out

Vladislav Varlashin
Vladislav Varlashin

Scott Seiver raised to 10,500 from the hijack seat, and Kristijonas Andrulis reraised to 24,000 from the cutoff seat. On the button, Vladislav Varlashin moved all in for 25,500, and the two blinds folded. Seiver called, then Andrulis called.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} with Seiver and Andrulis checking to see the {10-Hearts} land on the turn. They both checked again, and the {3-Hearts} landed on the river. Seiver bet 40,000, and Andrulis mucked.

Seiver showed the {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a flush, and Varlashin's hand was mucked. He was eliminated while Seiver moved to about 230,000 in chips.
