Arends Gets Looked Up on the River
Level 22
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Jans Arends limped in from the small blind with A♣2♣ and Leon Sturm checked his big blind with 6♥3♦. The flop came 10♣7♦4♦ and Arends checked to Sturm who bet 300,000. Arends called and the 8♦ landed on the turn.
Both players checked this time and the 9♦ rolled off on the river. Arends sized up a large bet of 2,000,000 and Sturm went into the tank for a minute before making the call. Arends showed the bluff while Sturm collected a sizeable pot with a baby flush.
