Jammage

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Grayson Ramage opened the action from the button for 2,200 and Adrian Diaz called from the small blind.

Marvin Rettenmaier isn’t the type of player to let the chance to put a bit of pressure on go by and he raised from the big blind to 7,500. Ramage jammed it in his eye for close to 40,000 and nobody looked him up.

Mercier Multi-Tabling

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

In case a £10,000 High Roller wasn’t enough action, Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier is playing Pineapple on his i-Pad against Sorel Mizzi who is currently in the same tournament two tables away.

Now and then they are shouting across to each other about what to do next and getting teased by other players about who has an edge.

Chouity's Tricky Traps

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Philipp Gruissem
Philipp Gruissem

On a {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Nicolas Chouity checked and Philipp Gruissem declared, "No bet, so no ace-king, no ace-queen..."

"A ten is in my range," smiled Chouity.

Gruissem bet 5,000 and Chouity made the call.

Both players then checked the {A-Hearts} turn and then the {3-Spades} river. After Gruissem checked behind on the end, Chouity swore as the German had escaped the former's trap. Chouity flipped {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and said, "I guess the ace was a bad card for me..."

Moorman Five-Bet Jam

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With an open and a three-bet by the time it got to Martin Finger on the button the action only got bigger as Finger counted out the four-bet to 8,900.

There was a decent amount of money in the pot already and Chris Moorman in the big blind went for it, cold five-bet shoving for around 30,000. One by one they surrendered their hands with Igor Kurganov teasing Finger that he had folded kings. Finger remained tight lipped this time.

Jacobson's Double Barrel Fails

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With the board reading {3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, Martin Jacobson checked, Yann Dion fired a bet of 4,100 and was called by Ole Schemion and Nicholas Galtos. Jacobson then check-raised to 11,200, Dion and Schemion quickly folded but Galtos called to see the {Q-Diamonds} on the turn.

Jacobson led out for 16,700 and Galtos thought for a minute before setting the Swedish November Niner all in. Jacobson folded instantly and Galtos took down a substantial pot.
