Auer Gets a Gift
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Matthias Auer raised to 55,000 from the small blind and Joseph Druetto reraised to 115,000 in the big blind. Auer called and the flop of J♥8♠6♥ was spread across the felt.
Auer checked to Druetto who bet 110,000 and Auer still called. The turn was the K♦ and Auer checked again. Druetto ripped all in for 565,000 and Auer quickly called.
Joseph Druetto: A♣Q♠
Matthias Auer: K♥J♣
Auer made two pair on the turn while Druetto was left drawing to just a straight draw. The river was the 7♦ and Druetto was bounced from the tournament.
"Merry Christmas," one player at the table said to Auer who is now playing a stack over 3,000,000.
