Glaesel Can’t Fold

Rasmus Glaesel (archive)

With three players active and already substantial action earlier, the board read :::4d:::6h:::7c:::6c and Ghattas Kortas checked. Rasmus Glaesel, who made the final table at the PokerStars Championship Bahama’s earlier this year, checked as well, which prompted Marcus Vertling to move in for his last 6,025.

Kortas folded and Glaesel considered his options. Getting 3 to 1 on a call, the Dane called it off.

Rasmus Glaesel: :::8s:::8d
Marcus Vertling: :::Qd:::Qc

The river was the :::Ah and Vertling more than tripled up.

Marcus Vertling 25,000
Rasmus Glaesel 7,500
