Home / Uncategorized / Eureka5 Hamburg Day 2 : An orbit with big stacks

It’s not often that a start of Day 2 table has three of the top four stacks at it, so it’s a table worth keeping an eye on. It was time to do, “An orbit with…” at table number six.

Naser Nawrozi, Jennifer Sabuel and Denys Drobyna had already busted and been replaced by Andrey Shubin, Hanno Offen and Frank Fechner respectively. The table was nine handed but short after the orbit of coverage, Tournament Director Thomas Lamatsch announced to the room that the tournament was going to be eight handed from there on in.

Patrick Renkers still has a big sack
Hand 1. Shubin raised to 7,300 from the button and the characterful Along Lang defended his big blind to see s 3♠ 10♦ 5♥ flop where both players checked. The turn came as the 4♥ and Lang led for 10,300. Shubin called and then bet 16,000 on the J♣ river when the action was checked to him. Call.

Shubin opened Aâ™  8♣ and Lang stared at the hand and then declared, “Nothing!” before he opened the winning A♥ 4♣ .

Hand 2. Oscar Peleg raised his button to 7,100 and Hanno Offen peeled from the big blind. Both players checked the flop and an 11,200 delayed c-bet, when the board read 8♦ 2♣ 9♥ J♠ , was enough to win the pot.

Hand 3. Patrick Renkers opened to 8,000 from early position and picked up Peleg (HJ) and Fechner (BB) as callers en route to a 2♣ 8â™  J♥ flop. All three checked to the 6♦ turn where a Renkers’ 9,000-bet was enough to win the pot.

Hand 4. Land raised to 6,400 from the hijack but open-folded 9â™  7â™  after Fechner three-bet all in for 47,000 from the small blind.

Hand 5. Marco Noll raised to 7,200 from the cutoff and took the blinds and antes.

At that stage the button jumped two spots but no one noticed.

Hand 6. Lang raised to 6,000 from mid position and was called by Noll (HJ) before Andreas Bremer moved all in for 72,400 from the small blind. Both opponents folded.

Hand 7. An angry looking Lang raised to 10,000 and was called by Noll and Bremer once more. The flop came Q♦ K♠ 8♥ and Bremer took two in a row with a 23,000 bet.

Hand 8. Renkers raised to 7,000 from the cutoff and all folded.

Hand 9. Bremer raised to 7,200 from mid position and was called by Renkers in the next seat and Lang in the big blind. All three checked the 5♦ A♣ 2♠ flop before Lang led for 4,000 on the A♥ turn. The board completed with the 9♠ and Bremer took another pot down with a 13,000 bet.

That wasn’t the most action-filled orbit of all time but sometimes you get that with so many chips on a table. The three big stacks are all in a great position already to make the money and go deep but tangling with another big stack is a sure-way to potentially end that scenario, hence the cautious play.
