Maxime Taldir

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Ex Warcraft professional player Yoan Merlo opened to 900 from early position. Everybody else at the table folded, except for the big blind, who called.

The dealer fanned a flop of 2♦Q♠6♣ that both players checked. Then the 9♦ appeared on the turn. The small blind threw a single chip of 1,000 in front of him, and Merlo matched the bet with 1,000 as well.

On the river 3♥ and both players checked once more. The small blind revealed 4♠4♦, but it wasn't enough as Merlo showed A♣9♣ for a pair of nines.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Christoph Vogelsang raised to 1,000 from under the gun and five players decided to join the party. It took nearly two minutes just to get to the flop of Q♥5♣2♣. Vogelsang continued with a bet of 1,600 and Navot Golan raised to 3,500 on his left. Robert Scherer called in the cutoff and Vogelsang also came along.

The turn was the 4♦ and the action checked around to the 8♦ on the river. Vogelsang led out with a bet of 5,600 and it took Golan a couple of minutes before he finally folded. Scherer thought for a bit as well but also decided to fold and the pot was shipped to Vogelsang.
