Politika Pulls Ahead
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Raul Paez in middle position, Remigijus Politika in the hijack, and Thomas Hueber in the cutoff had created a pot of 16,500 when they went to a flop of Q♣A♥5♠, which they all checked.
The 3♣ turn then saw Paez bet 10,000 and Politiki call. Hueber quickly let go of his cards before the 10♠ river completed the board.
Both remaining players knuckled the table. Paez showed A♠K♣Q♠6♣ for two pair, but it was no good against Politika's Q♥Q♦9♦6♥, who took down the pot with his set.
