Kollmann Extends His Lead

Yuval Bronshtein just raised pre flop from early position and both blinds called. Erich Kollmann was in the small blind and he lead out for 5,500 on the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop. Ben Roberts was in the big blind, and he opted to fold.

Bronshtein called the bet, and heads up they saw the turn. On the turn the {8-Spades} popped up and Kollmann checked. Bronshtein decided to bet pot, and Kollmann put him all in for just a tad more. Bonshtein called it off with {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Spades}, and was drawing dead against Kollmann's {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

Kollmann added some more chips to his impressive stack as Bronshtein left the tournament area.
