Level 1
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Max Altergott, who won this event last year, has just picked up a couple of decent pots against Philip Gruissem. First he check-called a 10,000 bet on the turn of a 
board before both players checked the 
river. Altergott's 
was still good.
In the next hand, the two were in the blinds, Altergott limped in and Gruissem checked his option. Again it was another heart-heavy board coming 
. Altergott fired 1,300 and Gruissem made the call to see the 
on the turn. Both of the Germans checked this card to see the 
on the river. Altergott now fired 2,800 and Gruissem made the call but the latter mucked when he saw Altergott's 
.
Despite these two setbacks, Gruissem still has around his starting stack.
