Two Seat Open in a Row on Table 151

Ramon Kropmanns ended his massage prematurely and his cards were already mucked out of the big blind, as the chips were pushed to Max Neugebauer. The latter had raised from under the gun and flopped the nuts with J♠10♠ on 9♠8♦7♦.

According to Neugebauer, Kropmanns had open-jammed the big blind with the Q♠9x for top pair on the flop. The Q♥ turn gave the Brazilian some outs to escape but the 8♥ river was not among them.

One hand later, Eric Tsai raised to 25,000 and called the shove by Vladas Tamasauskas for 50,000 total.

Vladas Tamasauskas: K♦Q♦
Eric Tsai: A♥J♦

"Do you take a chop?" Tamasauskas joked and Tsai predicted a six-seven-eight flop. The latter almost came true on 8♣7♠4♦ before the A♦ turn gave Tsai the top pair and Tamasauskas the nut flush draw.

Nothing changed with the A♣ river as it was only Tsai who improved to trips aces, sending the next player to the rail.
