Pim de Goede Gone

Oct 02, '10

Per Ummer raises from the small blind and Pim de Goede calls from the big blind. As the dealer was about to deal the flop Ummer said, “I’m all in.” His all in would be for 800,000 which meant, if he called, de Goede’s tournament life would be on the line. The flop was dealt K 8 4 and de Goede folded. A puzzled/slightly in awe Joe Hachem who is sitting at the table said, “I’ve never see that before!”

Ummer was soon at it again. He popped a raise of 23,000 up to 55,000 and de Goede moved all in for 300,000. It was folded to Ummer who instantly called and flipped over pocket aces. De Goede showed pocket tens and the board came K J 4 9 9 and de Goede hit the rail. Ummer now has more than one million in chips.

Jaffee checked and Buchana bet 16,500. Jaffee made the call and the turn brought the 8, prompting both players to check.

On the A river Jaffee fired 30,000 into the pot and Buchanan called and saw the bad news. Jaffee showed Q9 for the turned straight and Buchanan mucked, dropping to 150,000 in chips.

ElkY Gets Much Stronger Thanks To Lucky Flop

Sep 30, '09

Bertrand Grospellier raised to 3,000 and Joe Cada called behind him. Action folded to Per Ummer who reraised to 11,500.

Back to Grospellier, who reraised once again to 31,500. Cada folded and Ummer instantly moved all in. Grospellier called with A-K, but was in really bad shape to Ummer’s pocket kigns.

The board came A-A-5-7-7, however, giving ElkY the winning hand with a full house and sending Ummer from the tournament. Grospellier now has 195,000 in chips.
