Buijs Busts in Three-Way All-In

Christian Zetzsche

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Theodoor Woolschot raised to 32,000 and Rens Buijs then pushed all-in for 237,000 in the hijack. Chip leader Duc Tuan Tran in the small blind called before Woolschot then moved all-in over the top.

"How much more is it?" Tran inquired and the all-in was for another 98,000 on top. It took nearly two minutes for the big stack to call, putting two players at risk.

Rens Buijs: 9♦9♠
Theodoor Woolschot: A♦K♦
Duc Tuan Tran: Q♥Q♣

"Oh, I am good!" Tran exclaimed when his two opponents had revealed their cards. However, it was Woolschot who got there on the K♣10♥8♣7♣10♦ board to almost triple up.

Buijs was eliminated and visibly upset, not by the outcome but by the "slowroll" of Tran.

Stanciu Knocks Out Pascucci

Christian Zetzsche

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Simone Pascucci raised to 115,000 from under the gun and Traian Stanciu called from one seat over.

Pascucci bet 50,000 on the Q♠8♥7♥ flop and Stanciu had already announced call before noticing the 25,000 behind for Pascucci. Those then went in after the 8♦ turn.

Simone Pascucci: K♥9♥
Traian Stanciu: A♦A♥

Pascucci had some outs with the flush draw but Stanciu improved to aces full with the A♣ river.
