Zegal Wakes Up With the Nuts to Bust Sturm
Level 17
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Stanislav Zegal and Leon Sturm were heads-up on a board of A♥K♠J♠8♥ when Sturm bet 300,000 from under the gun. Zegal then moved all in from the big blind.
Sturm had around 850,000 remaining and used four time banks as he considered the decision for several minutes. He eventually called off his last chips with A♠9♣, but Zegal turned over Q♣10♦ for the nut straight.
Sturm was already drawing dead by the 3♦ river as the defending champion scored the knockout.
