Orec Busts Spichtig

Richard Hayes

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a board of 9♦K♥9♠K♣9♣ and with 25,000 in the middle, Franco Spichtig had moved all in for 71,500, sending his opponent, Stipe Orec into the tank.

Orec eventually made the call and showed A♠A♦ for a better full house than the board, and Spichtig, who had clearly been hoping to get Orec off what he thought would be a chopped pot, turned over Q♠J♦ and headed to the exit.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Gordon Paterson opened to 9,000 and was met with a three-bet jam by Tomas Pihurik.

Action folded to Dieter Pichler in the big blind, who produced a cold four-bet jam to 62,500, forcing Paterson to fold. Pihurik was at risk.

Tomas Pihurik: 3♠3♣
Dieter Pichler: 5♥6♥

Pihurik was ahead in a race, and remained so after the 9♥Q♠4♣ flop, but the 6♣ rolled off on the turn to give Pichler a pair of sixes and the 2♥ river confirmed Pihurik's exit.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The board read 7♠A♠5♣6♣ with 23,000 in the middle, and Marius Wolf had checked to Christian Beer, who put out a bet of 13,000.

Wolf promptly produced the check-jam and Beer had his calling chips in the middle almost before Wolf's chips were over the line, with Beer at risk.

Christian Beer: 3♠5♠
Marius Wolf: A♥7♣

Beer had turned a flush draw to go with his pair of fives but was in bad shape versus Wolf's two pair, and the A♣ rolled off on the river to give Wolf the full house and send Beer to the rail.
