Maxed Out
Fresh of their 40 winks, players have arrived with a renewed vigor, and seem hungry for action as we witness endless big pots. One of those was a three-handed affair which saw the early demise of Max Stern.
Stern: {X}/
Richard Tuttle: /
Andrey Zaichenko: /
Fireworks exploded on fourth street, Tuttle leading, Zaichenko raising, and Stern three-betting to 1,800. Both players called.
On fifth, Tuttle checked, Zaichenko bet and Stern called all in for 1,100. Sixth and seventh both saw Tuttle check-call single bets before being the bad news: both his high and low were pipped by Zaichenko's pocket aces and low to the seven.
As a result, Tuttle is down to just 200 (and exited shortly after), whilst Zaichenko now boasts in excess of 20,000.
