Stojanovic Busts Thalmann

Babic Borislav limped in middle position, as did Yves Thalmann. Zoran Stojanovic raised to 15,000 on the button. Both of his opponents called.

Action was checked to Stojanovic on the J♥10♦8♥ flop, and he put out an overbet of 150,000, putting both of his opponents at risk if either made the call.

Both took some time to make their decisions, with Stojanovic urging them to gamble. Borislav folded, to leave Thalmann to agonize over his decision for several minutes.

Thalmann eventually made the call and was at risk.

Yves Thalmann: A♥2♥
Zoran Stojanovic: 9♥9♦

Stojanovic had a pair of nines with an up and down straight draw, while Thalmann had the nut flush draw.

However no help arrived on the 7♠8♠ runout and Thalmann headed for the exit.
