Stanislaw Times Two
2 years ago
Piotr Stanislaw of Poland came back from the dinner break in dire need of resuscitation. He got exactly that a moment ago when he got all-in pre-flop racing A
J
agains the pocket sixes of Bjorn Van Bavel.
With Stanislaw's tournament life on the line the flop came down A
Q
2
, nailing the aces for the all-in player and leaving the pocket sixes in terrible shape. The turn and river came T
K
and Stanislaw finishes the hand with the broadway straight to double up to over $70,000.

Bart Wetsteijn - Netherlands
2 years ago
PL.com first met this young Dutchman when he narrowly missed the final table at the recent EPT San Remo main event, the first EPT event to take place on Italian soil. Wetsteijn finished 15th in Italy, which was good for €17,600.
Playing under the name MrMr82 on Pacific Poker, Wetsteijn is known for his sportsmanlike conduct at the table. Although seeming to play a solid if somewhat conservative game, Bart has shown he has what it takes to make moves when he has to.

Roessler Rustled (Seventh)
2 years ago
German Mark Roessler has dodged a few bullets tonight but he just got hit by a stroke of bad fortune.
In the hand Jack Hinchey holding K
3
and Roessler holding J
8
limp to a flop of J
9
2
. Roessler makes the initial bet of $10,000, but Hinchey reraises with nothing but king-high. Roessler makes the correct read and goes all-in for his last $60,000.
It's $30,000 more for Hinchey to call and eventually the Canadian does, indeed, call.
The turn comes Q
giving Hinchey a straight draw and the river falls 10
to complete the straight.
Roessler is out in seventh in a bit of a nasty hand. Even Hinchey is shaking his head at the surprising turn of events.
"Some call it poker but I think it was a donkey play," exclaims Roessler in an exit interview.

The Mark Roessler Double-Up
2 years ago
Bart Wetsteijn has A
9
and opts to bet. Mark Roessler has K
3
and, for some reason, decides to ship it all-in for approximately $50,000. Wetsteijn thinks for a few minutes but eventually makes the call.
The board comes K
J
10
2
4
and Roessler spikes a king to survive.
