Sturm Folds the Best Hand
Level 23
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Leon Sturm opened to 800,000 on the button with A♣7♦ and Jans Arends just called from the big blind holding K♣Q♣. The flop came 10♣6♣4♥ and both players checked to the 8♠ on the turn.
Arends led out with a bet of 1,800,000 with his flush draw but Sturm stuck around for the 7♠ on the river. Arends announced all in on the river with just king-high and Sturm dumped the best hand into the muck.
