Rowe Gets Aggressive

Jeremy Geist

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was a early position open to 1,000. He got a call from middle position, the button, and Hugh Rowe in the small blind.

The flop landed K♣7♥Q♦ and action checked the whole way through.

The turn brought a 4♦ and action checked to the middle position player who bet 3,000. The button called and action was on Rowe in the small blind. Rowe gathered some chips and put in the check-raise to 8,000.

The rest of the players all sat in the tank for a moment but each one came to the same conclusion. Fold.

Rowe scooped to get back closer to starting stack.

Martini's Boat Gets Called by Ace-High

Adam Lamers

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Julien Martini was heads-up with Paul Serrate with a completed board of 8♥5♠5♣3♠3♥ spread across the felt. There was around 25,000 in the middle and Serrate checked to Martini who shoved all in as the bigger stack.

Serrate was sitting on a stack of 53,000 and had a decision to make for his tournament life. "I want to call you with ace-high," he said to Martini but got no reaction. Three minutes passed by and Serrate agonized some more before making the call.

Martini rolled over 8♣8♦ for a full house which made Serrate throw his A♠10♠ face up in disgust before exiting the tournament area.

With the board already reading A♥7♥10♦, the turn came the 9♠. A player in middle position bet and was called by Damien Steel in the small blind.

The river fell a 5♥ and middle position fired again, with a roughly pot-sized bet of 5,300.

Steel called and his opponent showed Q♣J♠. Steel turned over K♠10♥ and his pair of tens claimed the pot.

Maxime Taldir

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Shortly after the restart, a player opened to 1,500 in early position. Everybody folded to Eric Van Der Burg in the big blind, who moved all in for 14,100 chips. The initial raiser called, with a very slightly bigger stack.

Eric Van Der Burg: A♠Q♦
Opponent: A♥K♦

Van Der Burg kept his hand on his queen and hoped for a miracle. But it didn't happen on 9♠J♣3♦8♣7♠ and he's been eliminated.
