Early Double for Sturm
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 9♦A♦8♥8♣ and about 130,000 already in the middle, Leon Sturm checked from the small blind and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau bet 40,000 from the cutoff. Sturm made the call.
On the 5♣ river Sturm checked and Vaskaboinikau moved all in, covering Sturm's remaining stack of 62,000. Sturm snap-called.
Vaskaboinikau revealed Q♥10♥ for a bluff while Sturm tabled A♥7♠ for two pair, aces and eights to secure a full double up.
