Fuchs Sends Von Kriegenbergh to the 10K

Tyler Boyer

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Taylor Von Kriegenbergh raised all in for his stack of 385,000 from early position, and when it folded to the big blind Tom Fuchs, he quickly made the call.

Taylor Von Kriegenbergh: K♠Q♠
Tom Fuchs: A♥Q♥

Von Kriegenbergh was dominated by Fuchs, and when the board ran out 8♥8♣A♦8♠9♥ Fuchs improved to a full house, eights full of aces, to take the pot and eliminate Von Kriegenbergh.

As Von Kriegenbergh was leaving the table, he said, "F**k my life, now I have to go play a stupid 10K."

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded to Pieter Aerts on the button, and he raised to 60,000. It then folded to the big blind Sam Greenwood, who made the call.

After the K♥8♥9♣ flop, Greenwood check-raised the 70,000 bet from Aerts, to 190,000. Aerts gave it some thought before making the call.

The turn brought the J♥ and Greenwood moved all in for Aerts' stack of roughly 410,000. Aerts debated his decision, before tossing his cards in the muck to give the pot to Greenwood.

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

What is a player to do when they love tournament poker, their mind allows them to compete against the best of the best, but their body doesn’t want to cooperate? That’s a question “Texas” Mike Moncek, who suffers from a heart condition, asked himself Wednesday night after playing in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Event #7: $100,000 Triton Main Event.

The tournament, which is being live reported by PokerNews, attracted 182 entrants and offered up an $18,200,000 prize pool. On Day 2, a little over 40 players remained when Texas Mike, in his own words, “punted.”
