Walthaus Gives Up on the River
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
In a pot of around 12,000, Victor Chu led from the big blind for 3,000 on a flop of K♦K♣2♠. Jorn Walthaus was in middle position and made the call as the only other player in the hand.
The K♥ turn fell and Chu bet another 5,000, followed by another call from Walthaus. Then on the Q♠ river, Chu upped the ante once more, this time to 10,000 chips.
Finally, Walthaus let his hand go and granted the pot to Chu, who climbed just above starting stack by winning it.
