Blockers Not a Problem for Sammer

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

With the board reading {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, a player in early position bet 16,000 and received a call from an opponent in middle position. Harald Sammer called from the button, as well. The river was the {4-Hearts}. With two checks in front of him, Sammer announced he was all in.

"How much is it?" the turn bettor said with a frustrated sigh. "I call."

The third player mucked, and Sammer revealed {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for the nuts.

"I had two f***ing blockers," Sammer's opponent said, throwing {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} into the middle. "Can you believe I had two f***ing blockers?"

He sent Sammer 41,450.
