Unfortunately Jean Christophe Rigal (the winner of the 500 € Side Event) has just been busted, but has the consolation of being in the money.

Ross Boatman Winner of The WPT NL High Roller Event!!!! 0

Wednesday October 14th, 2009 at 7:20 pm

2small_MG_0422When we saw the heads-up kicked off we all thought it was going to take a while or…forever!

Both players had more or less the same stack and it was supposed to take time untill of of them had to make the final move. Instead it only took Ross 2 hands to win.

The final hand was just a question of luck: both players went all in with 2-2 (Dominik) and K-J (Ross). Ross made a higher pair could raise his hands into the air!

His 1st place was paid with around  € 150, 000 and Dominik got more or less € 90,000 with his 2nd place.

Very nice job guys!!!

High Roller Event: Down to Heads UP! 0

Wednesday October 14th, 2009 at 7:00 pm

2small_MG_0550Unfortunately Bichon  had not really a lot of time to celebrate his victory against Boatman.

He raised pre flop with AD-9D suited and got called by Dominik and Ross. Flop comes AH-4D-4H and Dominik makes a bet of 17k, called by Ross but raised ALL In by Bichon who had paired his Aces. This time only Ross calls. The turn and river showed  Q -J of hearts. Bichon had to let his Aces go aginst a Flush.

The Heads Up can now start, with the best two players of this event: Ross Bpatman and Dominik Nitsche.

Bichon takes homearound 62,000 €.

Nitsche heads-up vs Boatman

Nitsche heads-up vs Boatman

It is a very quick final table. I just came back with an Heads -Up News. Yes, true, only 2 players remaining.

The 5th place went to Serge Kamerer.

Dominik Nitsche  had another nice run over him when they both went All In with QJ and AQ and Dominik paired his Ace while Serge left the table with more or less 30,000 € in his pocket.

The 4th place was a battled one between Thomas Bichon and Barney Boatman.

Barney had to go ALL IN at the button being short stack with more or less 90,000 chips.It was not that difficult for Thomas to call. Understandable when he showed his 5-5 against 7-10 in Boatman’s hands. The flop came 8-6-4 and Bichon was still ahead but the river first and then the turn after made his face turn upside down when he saw 10 and then 7. Barney made two pair but he made a straight :)

Barney now leaves his brother playing alone and he will wait him home with a nice 45,000 € to celebrate….maybe his brother’s victory??

News from the High Roller Final Table – 7th and 6th place 0

Wednesday October 14th, 2009 at 5:48 pm

roger

The High Roller Final table is now made of 5 players.

The first one to go was Roger Hairabedian against Dominik Nitsche.

His A10 made him go All IN but they couldnt fight Dominik AJ. No surprises on the flop, river or turn and Roger decided to go and start playing the 1,800 Side Event. Bubble boy will get revenge this time as the 10 didnt come on the river.

After a short while we had our first paid player as Nagib Bemmis was busted against Ross Boatman.

His KQ made him go ALL IN and this time Ross showed the same (this time lucky) hand as Roger before A10.

The flop and turn were a perfect present for Ross who made trips with A-J-2-A. Nagib’s prayers for a ten were not listened and Ross Boatman became the new chip Leader with more than 450,000 chips.

Nagib Takes home more or less € 16,000 (162,000 DH)

High Roller Event Final Table 1

Wednesday October 14th, 2009 at 1:55 am

Final tableWe had a quite interesting hand which led to Montgomery being busted.

Scott was in position and raised to 4,200 pre flop. On his left there was Boatman who after a lot of thoughts went ALL IN and Montgomery called. He showed his pair of Sixes against pair of Queens.
The cards running on the table were A-Q-8-8-J and this costed Montgomery almost all his stack.

The next hand in fact he was suddenly out, having to go ALL In against Lellouche.
Lellouche showed his Q-10 against A-9. He paired his Queen and his 10, while Scott was left with no chips and only an Ace.final table

As soon as Scott left there was another player out at the second table: Tore Lager lost all his chips against Thomas Bichon. He went all in when the river was already dealt just to find out that his straight was not enough to beat a Full House. Regrettably Lager showed his 8-9 while Bichon happily held his J-7. The cards on the table were 7-J-7-6-10.

This was really unespected as Lager had a stack of almost 150.000 and now Bichon is the offical Chip Leader.

Players down to 10 :-) We have our Final Table with Blinds now 800/1600 with 200 ante. Average stack 135,000.
