Voertmann Scoops Twice

[user67765]

Stud-8:

Jens Voertmann has just scooped two hands in succession to take a strangle-hold on this tournament.

In the first hand Voertmann led the betting all the way but was raised on the river by Doug Ganger. Voertmann quickly called. Ganger showed ( {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

)

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

for a pair of eights and eight-low but Voertmann held ( {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{3-?}

)

{J-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

for a pair of jacks and six-low to scoop the pot.

The following hand saw Voertmann betting aggressively on every street once more with ( {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

)

{6-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

for two pair. Ganger called him down with {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

{4-Diamonds}

but could only table a pair of sevens.

Ganger is now crippled and down to his last 250,000 chips.
