Hijack Raises and Blind Battles
Hand #17: Brian Roberts had the button, but it was Moritz Kranich who started the ball rolling from the hijack seat with a bet of 65,000 and he took down the blinds and antes.
Hand #18: Elio Fox had the button at the start of the hand. The action folded around to Chris Moorman who raised to 65,000 from the hijack. Dermot Blain's interest was piqued in the small blind and he three-bet to 180,000. Jake Cody folded in the big blind and Moorman considered the 115,000 question posed to him by Blain. In the end Moorman folded and the dealer shovelled the chips into the direction of the man from Dublin.
Hand #19: Dermot Blain had the button, but once again action started in the hijack seat, and this time it was Brian Roberts with the 60,000 bet and he won the blinds and antes.
Hand #20: Jake Cody had the button and he folded leaving Shawn Buchanan and Moritz Kranich to play a pot in the blinds. Buchanan made up the small change but a Kranich raise resulted in a fold from the man once stuck in a lift.
Hand #21: Shawn Buchanan had the button but once again decided to let the action move onto the blinds. Moritz Kranich made it 75,000 from the small blind and Chris Moorman folded in the big.
