Moene Takes Two
Matthias Lipp kicked off the first hand with a raise to 2,700 from middle position, picking up three callers along the way.
The flop came down 9♠8♣2♣, and Ankit Ahuja, first to act in the big blind, led out with a 4,500 bet. Lipp folded, while Jelle Moene raised to 11,500, which only Saar Wilf called.
With two players left, the turn brought the 3♦. Moene kept up the pressure, betting 29,000, and Wilf called again.
Both checked the A♥ river, leading to a showdown. Moene showed J♠J♥, and it was enough for Wilf to quietly muck his hand.
In the very next hand, Moene opened the action with a raise to 2,500. Wilf called once again, along with Jeremie Zouari in the big blind.
The flop of 7♠9♣8♥ saw Zouari take the lead with a bet of 3,500, and Moene was the only one to call.
When the J♦ appeared on the turn, Zouari checked, but Moene wasn't backing down, firing a 12,000 bet. Zouari gave up the pot, and Moene scooped two solid pots in a row, steadily building his stack.
