Allera Rivers a Straight

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

The final board read {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and two players remained in the hand, Wilfried Haselmayer from Austria and French PokerStars qualifier Florence Allera. Haselmayer bet 1,575 and was quickly raised to 5,500 by Allera. This seemed to give Haselmayer pause for thought, but when he’d made his decision he moved all his chips over the line and was snapped off by Allera who showed {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a queen high straight. She could do nothing but emit a small exasperated sigh and shrug of the shoulders as the {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} of Haselmayer gave him the winning king high straight and left Allera almost felted.

The very next hand Allera moved all in for 900 with {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} and was called by Haselmayer who had {9-Spades}{7-Spades}. the other players folded and with a final board of {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} Allera doubled up but faces an uphill climb while Haselmayer has a very comfortable stack.

Peters' Hand Gets Better at Every Street

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Dutch EPT regular Tobias Peters just won a rather big hand where his hand's strength increased every street.

German Amir Mozaffarian opened the hijack to 350 and was met by a three bet from Tobias Peters in the cutoff to 875. Moser Nuno from Portugal cold called on the button and Mozaffarian added 525 to make the call as well.

{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Mozaffarian checked to Peters who made a 1,150 continuation-bet. Nuno opted to fold, Mozaffarian made the call.

{J-Clubs} on the turn and again Mozaffarian checked. Peters bet 2,850 and received a call once more.

The {2-Hearts} on the river made Mozaffarian check for a third time. Peters eyed Mozaffarian's stack and bet out 5,150 after some thinking. Mozaffarian, who only had about 8,000 left at this point, made the call.

Peters showed his {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a turned top two pair and rivered flush, Mozaffarian mucked.

Expensive River for Keiner

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Team PokerStars Germany's Michael Keiner just bet out 8,000 on a {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} board. His opponent was Estrellas Barcelona 2013 winner Soenke Jahn and he made the quick call.

Keiner showed his {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for top two but that hand was no good. Jahn turned over {4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and raked in the rather big pot.

Bad news for Keiner who now has about 19,000 left. We counted Soenke Jahn at about 80,000 already.
