Straver Busts Sturm
Level 13
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Johannes Straver raised to 40,000 from the hijack. Emilien Pitavy called from the small blind and Leon Sturm defended out of the big blind.
The action checked to Straver on the J♦3♠5♦ flop and he bet 45,000. Only Sturm called.
Sturm check-called a bet of 115,000 on the Q♣ turn to see the 3♦ hit the river. Sturm checked and Straver bet enough to put him all-in. The bet was for 220,000 and after a few moments of thinking, Sturm made the call.
Straver showed Q♥10♥ for a pair of queens, which won him the pot as Sturm turned over 5♥2♥ for a pair of fives as he exited the tournament area.
