Sturm Scores a Knockout
Niveau 6
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
The pot stood at 22,500 with three players looking at a flop of Q♣9♦2♣.
Leon Sturm, in the small blind, bet out for 5,500, Atanas Malinov called in middle position and Vasily Klyukin raised to 20,000 from the button. Sturm called and Malinov folded.
The 2♥ saw Sturm check to the aggressor. Klyukin bet out for 12,000 and Sturm moved all in, putting Klyukin to the test for his effective stack. Klyukin made a frustrated call.
Vasily Klyukin: J♣9♣
Leon Sturm: K♥Q♦
The river landed the 3♥; Klyukin's pair of nines and a missed flush draw fell to the top pair of Sturm, and Klyukin was sent to the rail.
