Cold Deck for Hennen
As Ashkan Fattahi was in the process of being eliminated, on a neighboring table, Rutger Hennen moved all in for 170,000 from the hijack. George Rotariu waited until Fattahi's elimination was confirmed before putting in his last 135,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds folded for the cards to go on their backs.
George Rotariu: A♥J♣
Rutger Hennen: A♠K♦
"Oh f***," said Rotariu as the cards were tabled.
The K♥Q♠3♦ flop gave Hennen a pair of Kings while Rotariu was drawing to Broadway.
"Ten. One time for me," pleaded the at risk player.
His prayers were answered as the 10♣ turn gave him the straight. The 5♠ river confirmed his double up.
"You are the best dealer in the world," thanked Rotariu.
On the next deal, Hennen put in the last of his chips before Fabrice Bigot made it 90,000 from the small blind. Aram Sargsyan folded to set up the all-in showdown.
Rutger Hennen: 9♦8♦
Fabrice Bigot: K♠10♥
Hennen was behind but had plenty of equity on the J♦7♦4♠ flop with his gutshot to the straight-flush. However, his bad run continued as the board completed with the J♣7♥ to send him to the rail.
