Kapeller Knows How to Play Pocket Jacks
Niveau 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Siegfried Kapeller opened to 50,000 from the hijack and Umberto Ruggeri called from the button.
They saw a flop of Q♥Q♦J♦ where Kapeller continued with a bet of 30,000, and Ruggeri raised to 145,000. After thinking for a while, Kapeller called.
A K♠ on the turn saw Kapeller check it over to his opponent, who put out a small bet of 90,000. Kapeller burned through a timebank before he called.
When the 5♠ dropped on the river, Kapeller checked again and Ruggeri counted out his chips before he elected to knuckle back.
"He has to show first, right?" asked Kapeller, who was quickly corrected by the dealer as he was out of position, he needed to show first. Kapeller then threw over a full house with J♥J♠, and Ruggeri's cards went into the muck.
