Hero-Call Goes Wrong for Amelipour

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Thorsten Weis
Thorsten Weis

Ali Amelipour checked the {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Spades} turn across to Thorsten Weis who bet 6,000 into a pot of 11,000. Amelipour called.

The river was the {6-Diamonds}. Amelipour eyed his opponent's stack before checking. Weis shoved for 16,100 and Amelipour went in the tank before eventually throwing out a single chip to call.

"You win," said Weis, tabling {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} for ace-high.

"No," replied Amelipour. "You win. I called with ace-high." He showed {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Weis' kicker played and he doubled to almost 60,000.

Huge Pot for Ntamaris

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante
Fotios Ntamaris
Fotios Ntamaris

The action started when a player from early position raised to 300,and after a flat from the player in the cutoff, Fotios Ntamaris bumped it to 2,000 from the small blind. The only player who called was the initial raiser and the flop fell {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

Ntamaris fired a bet of 1,500 and his opponent called rather quickly. The turn brought a {10-Diamonds} on the table and this time Ntamaris bet 5,500 which his opponent called again.

The river was the {4-Clubs} and Fotios shoved all-in for 13,500, sending his opponent deep into the tank. After a few minutes he called. Fotios showed {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a queen-high flush, and his opponent showed {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} and mucked allowing Fotios to take down the pot.

Thiemer Folds to Schnelzer Shove

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Daniele Vesco raised to 300 pre-flop and was called by Maradona Abaz. Ernst Schnelzer raised to 1,200 on the button, with Frederik Thiemer calling in the small blind. The other two players in the hand both called.

The flop was {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}. It checked to Schnelzer who continued for 1,200. Vesco and Schnelzer both called, with Abaz folding.

The turn was the {6-Clubs}. Thiemer bet out for 4,000 and Vesco folded. Schnelzer then moved all in for 11,000 and Thiemer thought about it before folding.

The river was the {3-Clubs} and Schindler check-folded to a bet of 4,000 from Illenseer.

Early Action in the Opener

Maik Peschmann
Maik Peschmann

We caught the action on the turn, with the board showing {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and it was Alexander Rahman who checked his option to Maik Peschmann, who fired 2,800 at a pot of around 4,000.

Rahman thought for a bit and ultimately decided to fold his hand. Peschmann turned over a pair of fives, for a flopped set.

Skiadas Raising Early

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Petr Hendrich raised pre-flop and was called by Nikolaos Skiadas in the next position as well as both blinds.

The flop was {5-Spades}{7-Hearts}{a-Spades} and the blinds both checked to Hendrich who continued for 500. Skiadas quickly raised to 1,700. The blinds both folded, as did Hendrich.

Skiadas showed the {a-Clubs} for top pair and took down an early pot.
