Dario Sammartino opened for 18,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 60,000 by Dominik Nitsche in the small blind. Ole Schemion then put in a four-bet to 123,000 from the big, Sammartino folded, and Nitsche thought for a bit before five-betting all in for approximately 320,000. Schemion made the call.
"Ace-king," Nitsche said. "Three ways to play them."
Nitsche:
Schemion:
It was a flip, but Nitsche was the one that needed to improve to stay alive. The flop didn't do it, and neither did the turn. Nitsche snapped his fingers together and pointed at the board — a gesture designed to will his card — but the dealer did not obey and instead put out the useless .
With that, Nitsche hit the rail and Schemion chipped up to 1.1 million.
Day 2 of the 2015 PokerStars.com EPT Season 12 Prague €50,000 Super High Roller is structured to be a bit fluid. First, and unlike Day 1, there will be a dinner break, which will take place after Level 14 and last for 75 minutes.
Second, the day will finish either after 10 levels have been played (AKA after Level 18) or when the final table of eight is reached (which is also the money bubble). Only time will tell which will come first, but we'll be here every step of the way.
