Leib Eliminates Strauch
Level 17
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Fabian Leib limped in from the button and Michael Strauch limped behind in the small blind before Maksim Shuts raised to 12,000, receiving a call from both opponents
The flop came 10♠7♥2♥ and Strauch moved all in for 14,500. Shuts made the call before Leib made a pot-sized raise, folding out Shuts and leaving Strauch all in and at risk.
Michael Strauch: Q♠Q♣6♠4♦
Fabian Leib: 10♥10♦6♣5♦
Strauch's overpair was in bad shape against Leib who had flopped top set. The rest of the board ran out 3♥4♥, improving Leib to the nut-straight to score the knockout and take down a nice pot.
