Lodden Shows the Bluff

Nível 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades} board there was already about 11,000 in the pot. Two players had checked to Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden who fired out a 8,800 bet. The first player folded but Italian player Gerhard Mair made the call.

The river brought the {7-Spades} and it was checked to Lodden. He announced all in, effectively putting Mair to the ultimate test. Mair folded and Lodden raked in the chips.

Just at the moment we thought this wasn't all that interesting a hand, Lodden flipped over {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a total airball.

Katchalov Pulls in a Nice Pot

Nível 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With 5,125 in the pot and a board reading {j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs}, Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov checked and watched YouTube gaming presenter CommanderKrieger and TV presenter/comedian Elton bet 2,000 from the cutoff. Katchalov made the call and then both players checked the {Q-Spades} river. Katchalov tabled the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for two pair, and it was good as Elton simply mucked.

An Orbit w/ FTP Flipout Freeroll Winner Feliz Schulze

Nível 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Flipout Champ Felix Schulze
Flipout Champ Felix Schulze

Yesterday, Full Tilt Poker held a live Flipout freeroll inside Vienna’s stunning imperial Hofburg Palace. The promotion saw total entries peak at 184, though there were only 81 spots available. A dozen of those spots were reserved for the likes of Full Tilt Poker Professionals Gus Hansen and Viktor Blom; Full Tilt Poker Ambassadors Dermot Blain, Hana Soljan, Roberta Cezarescu and Andras Nemeth; Team PokerStars Pros Jan Heitmann and Marcel Luske; and Team PokerStars Online's Dale Philip, Mickey Petersen, Marc-Andre Ladouceur and Matthias Brandner.

The remaining 69 seats were determined by a random draw, and among those to win a spot were Kevin MacPhee, David Vamplew, and Steve O’Dwyer. All 81 players were competing for the first-place prize of an EPT Vienna Main Event seat worth €5,300.

According to FTP: "The first stage of the live Flipout freeroll saw players gather for an exciting sweat as three tables flipped at the same time (each player was automatically all in on the first hand) to produce three winners. This happened three times amidst much drama and fun – producing nine players in total, with a variety of online and live tickets on the line."

In the end, Felix Schulze beat Full Tilt Poker Tour Ambassador Andras Nemeth to win the seat; as such, the German is now in the Day 1b field. Here's a look at the FTP Flipout Freeroll results:

7Benjamin Mertens€120 ticket
8David Vamplew€120 ticket
9Thomas Putzenlechner€120 ticket

We recently caught up with Schulze over at Table 22, where he is sitting quietly with headphones on. Schulze had no choice but to gamble it up in the freeroll, but he appears to be taking a more cautious approach in the Main Event. That was evidenced when we spent an entire orbit watching the freeroll winner.

Hand #1 (Big Blind): Schulze began the orbit with 30,400 and ended up folding this hand after a player in early position opened for 400 and a middle-position player three-bet to 925.

Hand #2 (Small Blind): A player in middle position raised to 350, the cutoff called, and Schulze folded when it was his turn to act.

Hand #3 (Button): A middle-position player opened for 350 and Schulze folded.

Hand #4 (Cutoff): The hijack opened for 425 and Schulze folded.

Hand #5 (Hijack): Action folded to Schulze and he did the same.

Hand #6 (Middle Position): Schulze opened for 450 and received a call from the player in the small blind. Both players checked the {10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop, and then did the same on the {7-Clubs} turn. Action went check-check for a third time when the {5-Clubs} completed the board n the river, and the small blind tabled the {a-Spades}{j-Spades}. Schulze showed the inferior {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} and watched the pot pushed to his opponent.

Hand #7 (Early Position): The under-the-gun player folded and Schulze did the same.

Hand #8 (Under the Gun): Schulze folded.

Not much happening for Schulze, who seems content to grind the day away.

For Jason Wheeler's Fans

Nível 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

"The fans back home will like that one," Jason Wheeler smiled, after we wrote up an interesting hand in which he folded a big one. We caught a hand from the start that played out as following.

Wheeler raised to 275 and Konstantin Puchkov called from the button after which Vizsnyiczai Zsolt three-bet from the small blind to 1,700. The American pro tanked for a bit before making the call, and Puchkov followed suit.

The flop brought out {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Zsolt checked to Wheeler who quickly bet 2,225 and Puchkov let go of his hand. Zsolt grabbed some more chips before he fired 6,200 into the pot.

Wheeler went into the tank for a bit before he started talking to his opponent.

"What country are you from?" Wheeler kindly asked, as Zsolt remained quiet.

"What's your favorite color?" Wheeler added.

"Are you for the annexation of Crimea by Russia?" Wheeler continued, all while Zsolt remained silent.

After a brief pause Wheeler said, "I don't like to fold to Russians," as he threw his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} face up into the muck. Zsolt was kind enough to show {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} as he raked in the pot. Wheeler made an impressive lay down, but his geographical assumption wasn't as good because Zsolt hails from Hungary.

The Chief of Berlin Faces an Austrian Challenge

Nível 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Daniel-Gai Pidun managed to win the European Poker Tour in Berlin for €880,000 last year, he finished 17th the year before and 9th in 2011. Pidun made his way to Vienna, and since there's no way for him to defend his title in Berlin this year our expectations are very high.

It's safe to say Pidun was the chief of the EPT when the tournament was hosted in Berlin, as the enthusiast amateur player has three total cashes besides his deep runs.

Slowly but surely we're starting to see that Pidun's not just good on his home court, as he cashed the Eureka High Roller event yesterday. Pidun had a nice warm up here in Vienna and we're looking forward to seeing what this Main Event has in store for him.

Pascal Vos, who finished fourth when Pidun took the title last year, just showed up as well to chase more EPT glory in the Austrian capital.

Boeree Defends

Nível 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Gavin O'Rourke, a PokerStars qualifier from Ireland, opened for 300 and Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree defended her big blind. The two players checked it down to the river reaching a final {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board. “Sixes?” said Boeree and was pleasantly surprised to see they were good.

Lykov Flop Raise Turns Profit

Nível 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

In a hand that took a few minutes to play out we had reached the river of a board reading {7-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Salvatore Bonavena had bet the flop and then called a raise from Team PokerStars Pro Maxim Lykov. Bonavena then check called a bet on the turn and then checked the river.

He was now facing a bet of 3,500 on the river and he took a while, chewing contemplatively on his glasses. Eventually he threw in a chip and made the call and when Lykov turn over {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for trips he mucked his cards and surrendered the rest of the bet from his stack.
