PPT2 Ace cracked

Ronnie Espensen at PPT London
Cue the groans from 19 Fantasy Poker entrants - PPT2 League winner Ronnie Espensen just busted out of the Barcelona Main Event after his Aces ran aground.

The Dane had been below the average stack for some time but must have thought he was set to double up after finding a caller on a Q75 rainbow board.

Having raised pre-flop and c-bet for 1,100, he was check-called all the way by the villain in question. The 2 on the turn seemed harmless enough, but by the time he was snap-called following a river shove, it was clear things were not as straight forward as they appeared.

Ronnie's opponent rolled pocket deuces for a turned set and duly sent him to the rail.

Meanwhile the previously red hot David Pishvafar and Bastian Bluem have also run into a measure of trouble, with both men shorn to far shorter stacks.

While Bastian revealed his reverse in fortunes was due to a series of small pots gone wrong, David had one big hand to bemoan. The German semi-pro had raised pre-flop with JJ and found little respect, having been heavily involved in a number of recent hands.

He led out on 7♥-8♥-4♠ flop with vs two callers and when one rival all but shoved for 11,000, Pishvafar weighed up the call before eventually committing the chips.

He was up against a multi-way draw as his opponent showed K♥6♥ and a river sucker punch came in the shape of a King.
