Trauer Shoves on Katerji

Level 4 : 0/0, 400 ante

The board read {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and Pierre Trauer had bet enough to put Pierre Katerji all in.

With 10,000 in the pot, Katerji had 18,000 behind and took his time, apologizing to the table.

He eventually folded and Trauer took down the pot.

Pallin Busts Again

Level 4 : 0/0, 400 ante

Madanzhiev Runs into Kings

Level 4 : 0/0, 400 ante
Stoyan Madanzhiev
Stoyan Madanzhiev

In what may well have been the first hand he played, Stoyan Madanzhiev three-bet all in over the Fabian Scherle open and was called.

According to the table chat, Scherle may have been slow to call with {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} against the {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} of his opponent. The {6-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board gave him a flush and Madanzhiev was forced to add on.

"The chances of running into aces are ten times higher in short deck, no?" said Scherle.

Israelashvili Reads the Hand; Still Loses

Level 3 : 0/0, 300 ante

Action was on an {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board and action was on Stuart Rutter. Both Brian Cornell and Roland Israelashvili had gone all in, with Cornell the short stack. Eventually Rutter folded.

"It's simple," said Israelashvili. "You have a straight and I need to fill up."

The cards were then turned over, with Israelashvili indeed holding a set of tens {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Cornell {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. THe river {j-Diamonds} bricked and Cornell doubled up.

After the hand, Rutter stated that he would have made a straight flush.

"That's why I raised," said Israelashvili. "I can make a full house and still lose!"

Updated Chip Counts

Level 3 : 0/0, 300 ante

Zoufri Chips Up

Level 3 : 0/0, 300 ante

Four players each checked a {9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} board and Fabian Scherle reluctantly showed {q-}{10-} for queen high.

Shawn Stroke more confidently showed {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for trip queens and Israel Bulut mucked.

Abdelhakim Zoufri showed {10-Spades}{7-Spades} for a straight and took down the pot.

On the next hand, Scherle doubled through Stroke after his {q-Spades}{10-Hearts} bested the {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} of his opponent on the {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades} board.

Colavita Doubles Through Trauer

Level 3 : 0/0, 300 ante

Mario Colavita was all in for 13,900 on the {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades} board.

His opponent was Pierre Trauer who eventually called.

Mario Colavita: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Pierre Trauer: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Unusually for short deck, neither player had made a straight. The river was the {6-Diamonds} and Colavita's two pair held up.
