Jorgensen Can't Hit Flush Draw

donpeters

Theo Jorgensen raised from the button to 45,000 before Norman Kastner reraised from the small blind to 116,000. Jorgensen elected to make the call and see a flop in position.

The flop came down {K-Spades}

and Kastner fired 190,000. Jorgensen moved all in and Kastner called. He was all in for 359,000 total with the {A-Spades}

against the {10-Spades}

of Jorgensen.

The turn came the {5-Clubs}

and the river the {5-Hearts}

and Jorgensen couldn't find a spade to send Kastner to the rail. Kastner moved up to 975,000 while Jorgensen dropped to 2.15 million.

Over half a million chips had found their collective way into the pot by the river of the {9-Clubs}

board, at which point Jan Collado bet out 140,000. After some consideration, Grigory Torosyan folded and was left with less than 400,000. Collado moved up to 750,000.

Nathwani Lets the Gods Decide

Short-stacked Patrick Kubat open-shoved and it folded to Ketul Nathwani in the small blind who thought about it for a while. He got a coin out of his pocket. "Heads I call," he said, and flipped it.

The coin came down tails. The coin went back in Nathwani's pocket, and Kubat's stack was returned to him. We play on.

We arrived at Julian Thew's table to find the eponymous Team PokerStars Pro missing. Tablemate Ketul Nathwani filled us in.

"Well, Julian open-shoved for, like 230k. And I found aces." He grinned, very reasonably at that last bit - he's up to 1.85 million after that.

Good game, Mr. Thew.
