In Namur a rather picturesque hand was staged even if it is not so rare that such dynamics also happen at high levels. The Dutch player found himself facing the Frenchman Hamaoui who was able to “read” the opponent’s hand perfectly. Even if it was not enough ….

At PokerStars Open there was a day 2 full of interesting ideas. The bubble broke out at the 16th level of the day. Atmani lost the classic coinflip against Sey. Instead, to read the hand between Hagedoorn and Hamaoui with the first who made a “painless” error. Here’s what happened to Namur

In the Belgian stage of the PokerStars Open, nobody spared himself: we were able to attend a vast range of “classic” clashes but also of calls from real sheriffs. In the second grouping, the spot that involved the German Lyubomir Gyundziev and the Belgian Matthais de Meulser with the latter who defended from Big Blind after the Raise from UTG of the opponent, certainly On a flop a 9 5 There was the check-call on the part of the Belgian on the continuation bet of the rival. The turn was an a who dampened the action given the double check. Same situation at River after a harmless 3 With De Meulder that collects the dish with K Q against K J by Gyundziev. Ferdinando D’Alessio, who does not fight Italian flag, instead showed the muscles against Janotta. On a board that read J 8 5 8 TO And the check in the fifth road of Janotta, a nice 108,000 of Bet from D’Alessio arrived. Fold by Janotta showing a J but total white of the Belgian which collected by showing 9 6

Hagedoorn vs Hamaoui hand

And let’s get to the story of the curious episode that made everyone smile at the Open table during Day 2. We found out that winning without looking at the cards is possible. A little more complicated bringing home a tournament always showing them! We are at the 18th level, Blinds 3000/6000/6000 and Ahmed Hamaoui puts a pile of chips in the middle. It is the classic “virtual” move in the sense: the Frenchman puts over 80,000 leaving about 20,000 and usually, those who decide to play his hand, counter -level to put the opponent Allin. The word arrives at Jort Hagedoorn who announces the call, thinking that Hamaoui was with all the chips in the middle. Therefore normal that the Dutch shows the cards: a TO. Small problem: Hamaoui had not put everything on the plate and Jort had announced (only) the call. The tour director is called but here the rule is quite simple. Whoever shot the cards continue in the blow with their own hole cards visible to everyone. There is no fold, penalty or hand declared dead. Hamaoui has the advantage of knowing the situation and the flop could check or folding in front of an episode. On j J 3 Hagedoorn puts the rival alin but folded!
