Mats Iremark

The two Swedish poker pros, Mats Iremark and Hans Eskilsson, just got tangled up in a big pot. Iremark, with {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

, raised preflop and Eskilsson called holding {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

. The flop came {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{4-Spades}

, Eskilsson bet and Iremark called. The turn came the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

, and Eskilsson check-called Iremark’s 3,500 bet. The river was the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

and Eskilsson bet 4,000, leaving 4,000 behind. Iremark only called, worried about the flush, but his straight held up against Eskilsson’s two pair. The pot was 24,000, Iremark is up to 30,000, and Eskilsson is really short with only 4,000 left in front of him.
