Bedford Beats Prinsloo in Showdown
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Chris Gower saw his stack reduced below the starting stack when early chip leader Theuns Prinsloo bet for 21,000 on the 9♣8♥3♠3♣ turn. "That good, eh? ... I fold," Gower announced and Rajeev Poonhath joked "I think my eight was good."
"Which eight?" Prinsloo replied and flashed the 8♣.
One hand later, Prinsloo didn't fire the 10♠9♥5♠4♣8♥ river against Thomas Bedford and showed the 8♣7♥ as last aggressor for a missed straight draw and rivered third pair. It was no good, as Bedford had the 10♦8♦ for two pair.
Prinsloo has been involved in many of the hands but the most recent ones saw his stack reduced somewhat.
