Arduini Gets Value From Kribben
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Lorenzo Arduini opened to 65,000 from early position and Matthias Kribben defended from the big blind.
They saw a flop of 8♠K♣3♦ where Kribben check-called a bet of 50,000 from Arduini.
The 9♦ turn checked through to the 9♠ river where Kribben checked, and Arduini quietly announced a bet of 200,000, then put in a stack of 100,000, followed by another stack moments later. Kribben was arguing that it was a string bet, but the players backed up Arduini and said that he did announce the bet before he put the chips in. Kribben then thought for a moment and called.
Arduini showed K♥10♥ for top pair, and Kribben knuckled the table a few times before he mucked.
