Pop Three-Bet Jams

Richard Hayes

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Michael Sklenicka opened to 40,000 from the button, and Lulei Hu called in the small blind, before Catalin Pop promptly three-bet jammed to 570,000 from the big blind.

Both opponents folded relatively quickly, and Pop added a nice bit of dead money to his stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Lulei Hu	2,000,000 50,000	50,000
Catalin Pop	700,000 215,000	215,000

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Michail Manolakis raised the button to 45,000 and only Ivan Tikhov called from the big blind.

Tikhov check-called a bet of 40,000 from Manolakis on the A♥8♠4♥ flop.

A K♦ appeared on the turn and both players checked to see the J♠ roll off on the river. Tikhov led out for 40,000, and got a quick fold from Manolakis.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Adrian Cazacu raised to 40,000 under the gun and Max Neugebauer called in the cutoff. Govert Metaal then moved all in for 250,000 in the big blind and Cazacu folded, but Neugebauer called to put Metaal at risk.

Govert Metaal: 7♣7♥ All in
Max Neugebauer: A♥J♠

The flop came K♥10♣5♠ to give Neugebauer additional outs with a straight draw, while the K♠ also opened the possibility of counterfeiting Metaal's pair. The 10♠ river put two pair on the board, and Neugebauer's ace-kicker played to send Metaal to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Max Neugebauer	800,000 50,000	50,000

Adrian Cazacu	400,000 100,000	100,000
Govert Metaal	Busted

Schoch Gets Sent Home

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Max Schoch committed his last 45,000 from early position and Artem Kobylynskyi gave him some protection by raising to 90,000 from the cutoff. This forced the remainder of the table to fold and the cards were flipped over.

Max Schoch :3♦3♣ All in
Artem Kobylynskyi: A♣Q♦

Schoch's pocket treys remained ahead against Kobylynskyi's ace-queen on the 4♠5♣K♠ flop, but the Q♣ on the turn left Schoch needing a two-outer on the river to survive. It wasn't to be as the K♦ completed the board, and Schoch headed to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Artem Kobylynskyi	2,800,000 100,000	100,000
Max Schoch	Busted

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Robert Ashelm opened to 40,000 from middle position, and called a three-bet jam to 180,000 from Michael Adam in the small blind.

Michael Adam: A♣J♣ All in
Robert Ashelm: Q♦J♦

Adam was in good shape, and although he had a sweat on the turn, his opponent ultimately bricked the 10♦5♥4♣4♦7♣ runout.

Player	Chips	Progress
Robert Ashelm	875,000 175,000	175,000
Michael Adam	410,000 260,000	260,000

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Last year at King’s Resort, Simone Andrian took down the coveted 2024 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event bracelet and a career-best score of €1,300,000.

Andrian became the 15th player in history to win the WSOPE Main Event, triumphing over a field of 768 entrants. He ultimately defeated Urmo Velvelt in a gripping heads-up duel that lasted over three hours and saw the chip lead change hands multiple times.

“It’s amazing. By far the biggest score of my career. I couldn’t be more happy” he said following his victory. "I’ve been playing here a lot and to have that kind of score here feels special.”
