Gross and Pfutzenreuter Tangle

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Hand #9: Steve Gross raised to 65,000 from under the gun and got one caller in Timo Pfutzenreuter playing from the button. The flop brought three big cards — {A-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{J-Clubs} — and when Gross continued for 90,000, Pfutzenreuter folded.

Pfutzenreuter fired 155,000 this time, and after thinking a bit Gross made the call.

Pfutzenreuter showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, but Gross had {K-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for trip sixes and won the pot.
