Dodd Spikes the River to Stun Sturm
Leon Sturm raised to 16,000 in middle position before Owen Dodd three-bet to 45,000 in the hijack. Sturm called and they went heads-up to the 8♥K♣6♥ flop.
Dodd continued for 30,000 and Sturm raised to 65,000. Dodd called and the 3♠ fell on the turn.
Sturm checked over to Dodd who bet 80,000. Sturm then moved all in and Dodd tanked for a minute before calling for his last 143,000.
Sturm showed K♦Q♣ for a pair of kings, while Dodd was on a flush draw holding A♥J♥. The 4♥ river completed Dodd's flush and he let out a fist pump and snapped a photo of the board before accepting his double up.
At the same table, Florian Duta has around 970,000 sitting under his porcelain giraffe figurine. Tobias Peters is also at this table with around 410,000 stacked up in his usual symmetrical pattern.
