More For Pim

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Pim van Wieringen raised from the button to 200,000 and Niels van Leeuwen three-bet to 500,000 from the small blind. Marcel Luske folded and Van Wieringen four-bet to 1,115,000. Van Leeuwen folded right away and Van Wieringen picked up another pot.

The next hand Van Wieringen won as well and he keeps chipping up nicely while Van Leeuwen and Luske have around the same stack now.

Van Wieringen Grabs The Lead!

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

On a {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} board it was Marcel Luske who opted to check-raise Pim van Wieringen's bet from 300 to 920,000. Van Wieringen made the call and the river was a blank on which Luske check-folded when Van Wieringen moved all in.

Luske folded {5-}{8-} for a flopped straight but Van Wieringen flashed {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped flush. Things could've been a lot worse for Luske who still has a decent stack to play with after this big pot.
