(Auszug aus der Pokernews Live-Reportage)

It took a while for me to find a hand worth writing about up here on the balcony area. The two tables I’m peering over played out a series of hand where there was always a fold involved. You could say that’s because a very high level of poker is being played. Poker is essentially a strategy game of the mind and the deck of cards merely a tool to aid this. So if a hand is never been shown down, the winning player is victorious without yielding his weapon.

When hand did play out to showdown is was a big one….

Jan Schwarz raised up from the cutoff and found calls from Jani Sointula and the big blind before the flop came down .

Schwarz continued his aggression with a 7,000 bet only to see it raised up to 30,000 by Sointula. The big blind got our of the way but Schwarz made a quick call.

The turn came and Schwarz bet out for 14,000 before Sointula moved all-in. Schwarz snap called with and a disappointed Sointula turned over .

The river came to confirm the 140,000 pot headed Schwarz’s way. Sointula left with 18,000 now.
