Runcan Considers a King-High Call
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Paul Runcan made it 240,000 from the button with K♥2♣ and Anton Bergstrom called from the small blind holding A♣J♥. Siegfried Kapeller also called from the big blind with 4♣3♣.
On the 3♥10♣6♣ flop, Bergstrom and Kapeller checked, then Runcan fired 450,000. Bergstrom got out of the way, and Kapeller called.
A 10♦ paired the board on the turn and both players tapped the table to see the 3♦ fall on the river. Kapeller was first to act and rechecked his cards, threw in a time bank card, and slid forward a bet of 1,400,000. Runcan then used up four of his time bank cards while deciding whether to call with king-high, but ultimately decided to fold.
