Visockis Survives a Crucial One

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Mantas Visockis raised from the button to 175,000 and Ruben Visser three-bet to 460,000. Visockis made the call and the flop showed {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Visser bet 550,000 and Vicockis made the call.

On the turn the {2-Diamonds} hit and Visser put out another bet. This time he fired out 1,310,000 and Visockis tanked long before making the call.

The river brought the fourth heart with the {8-Hearts} and Visser checked. Visockis checked behind and Visser turned over {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} for a rivered flush. Visockis tabled his {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a flopped flush and by playing it cautiously on the river the Lithuanian stayed alive.

The river brought the {6-Hearts} and quickly both players checked. Visser showed {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and he took down another huge pot.

Visser Puts Foot to the Pedal

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

If you were wondering if the players would loosen up after striking a deal then the last hand might answer some of those questions.

Ruben Visser opened to 175,000 from the button before Mantas Visockis three-bet to 475,000 from the small blind, Visser's answer was to for-bet to 980,000 only for Visockis to five-bet to 1.6 million. Visser wasted little time in shoving for 7.05 million and Visockis snap folded.

Theo Jorgensen

The last Team PokerStars Pro, Theo Jorgensen, has bowed out in 4th place after yet another race scenario at this final table.

Ruben Visser opened to 175,000 from the button before Jorgensen three-bet to 905,000 from the small blind. He was effectively committing himself to the pot as he only had around 1.7 million total. Visser shoved and Jorgensen called.

Visser: {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Jorgensen: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

The board ran {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{a-Clubs} to pair Visser's ace on the river.

Visser Owns a Little Bit of Joregensen's Soul

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

For the second hand in a row, Ruben Visser has extracted value out of Theo Jorgensen.

He raised from the small blind and Jorgensen defended his big blind to see a {5-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop appear. Visser continued for 215,000 and the Team PokerStars Pro called to the {9-Hearts} turn. Visser bet 385,000 and Jorgensen called again.

Visser showed his class on the {q-Diamonds} river by checking and then snap calling when Jorgensen bet 500,000.

Jorgensen opened {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, no good against the young Dutchman's {q-Spades}{4-Spades}.
