Friendly Fire: Kapeller Rivers Aces Against Auer
Siegfried Kapeller opened the action with a raise to 4,000 from the cutoff, and Matthias Auer called from the big blind, setting the stage for a lighthearted battle between two Austrian players.
The flop came K♦3♠K♠, and Auer checked. Kapeller followed up with a small continuation bet of 2,000, which Auer called without much hesitation.
The 6♠ turn saw no further action as both players checked.
On the A♣ river, Auer checked once more, and Kapeller seized the chance to bet 7,000. Auer snap-called, prompting Kapeller to reveal A♥10♣ for two pair, kings and aces.
Auer let out a laugh, flipping over just the 8♦ as he remarked, "You got lucky on the river," implying he’d been ahead until the final card hit. The playful exchange added a touch of humor to the hand between the compatriots.
