Christian Zetzsche

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Igor Falkovsky raised to 40,000 and Theodoor Woolschot called. Anthony Mahaut then pushed all-in for 175,000 and the initial raiser folded, Woolschot sigh-called.

Anthony Mahaut: A♥Q♦
Theodoor Woolschot: 6♠6♦

The board ran out Q♥J♠4♥3♠9♥ and Mahaut spiked the queen to survive.

"I had a better hand," Falkovsky said and Woolschot joked "why don't you call, so I can fold".
