Sontheimer Slowplays Aces
Niveau 16
: 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante
Steffen Sontheimer was dealt pocket kings and pocket aces in two consecutive hands. He didn't get anything from the kings as he took down the pot with a preflop raise but then he found blades in the big blind.
Jason Koon opened 
and action folded to Sontheimer who flatted, underrepping his strength.
Koon himself saw a decent flop as the 
gave him the middle pair along with backdoor draws. He continued for 22,000 and Sontheimer just check-called.
The 
brought Koon a flush draw and he checked back to see the river.
It was the 
and Sontheimer took the betting lead, firing 45,000. Koon bricked his draw but smelled bluff. He burned one extension card and eventually tossed in calling chips to look at Sontheimer's overpair.
