Schlage Secures Double-Up

Frank Visser

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Kai Polotzek made it 30,000 to go in the hijack before he was three-bet to 115,000 by Raviel Schlage in the small blind.

After some thinking, Polotzek jammed all in with the bigger stack and received a quick call from his opponent, who put his stack of 265,000 at risk.

Raviel Schlage: J♠J♦ All in
Kai Polotzek: 8♦8♣

The J♣4♠5♠ flop brought Schlage a set, leaving Polotzek drawing dead when the 2♥ turn arrived. The 2♠ river upgraded Schlage to a full house, seeing him eclipse half a million chips.

Yvonne Fuege moved all in from the button and Sali Elias reshoved in the small blind with nearly an identical stack.

Sali Elias: K♦K♣ All in
Yvonne Fuege: A♠9♥

Elias had woken up with kings and stayed in the lead on the 10♠5♣7♥10♣J♥ board to secure the pot. The stacks were counted down and Elias had 150,000 remaining, leaving Fuege with just 10,000 after paying off the double up.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Arriving on a completed board of 6♠3♣4♥10♦10♥, with 250,000 in the middle, Raul Paez slid in a bet of 200,000 under the gun. Rostyslav Sabishchenko was in the seat next over and sat in the tank.

Eventually, he flicked in a calling chip. Paez tabled 3♠3♥ for a full house. Sabishchenko could only nod his head as he mucked his cards and cut out of the rest of his payment.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With about 100,000 already in the pot and the board reading K♣9♣3♣10♦, Antonio Menga put the pressure on by betting 100,000, effectively putting Luca Martinotti all-in. Martinotti took his time, repeatedly checking his cards before finally making the call, bringing them to a showdown.

Luca Martinotti: Q♥10♣
Antonio Menga: K♥7♦

The river brought no help for Martinotti as the 4♠ landed, sealing his elimination and allowing Menga to take down the pot.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sven Beiser raised to 25,000 in the cutoff before Waldemar Findling moved all in for 86,000 in the small blind. Daniel Biclea also stuck in his last 90,000 in the big blind and Beiser called to put both players at risk.

Waldemar Findling: A♠J♦ All in
Daniel Biclea: 9♦9♣ All in
Sven Beiser: A♦8♦

Biclea was ahead with his pair as the flop came Q♦10♣Q♠. The turn was the 2♣, while the 9♠ fell on the river to give Biclea a full house, earning him a double up off Beiser and sending Findling to the rail.
