Krause Reels in a Double Up

[user46298]

I caught this Stud hand from fifth street when it looked like Andreas Krause was teetering on the brink of an all-in. He bet 800 showing [XX] {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{3-Spades}

leaving himself just 550 behind. His potential caller (showing [XX] {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

) sighed, looked at the chips and the pot and made the call. He got a {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

but Krause picked up the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

which finished off his flush (he held the monstrous {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

down). Scoop for Krause.

A tablemate saw the sigh of his doubler-upper and said, "Low chips trapped you in the hand."

"Of course! Like four thousand in the pot, he only had 1300 bucks..."

Now he has 6,000, though, and that won't be an issue for a while...
