Targa Picks Off Ryan; Eljach Wakes Up With Kings
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Three-handed on a flop of 2♠9♣A♠, Martin Ryan bet 175,000 from the hijack and Petr Targa called in the small blind, while big blind Aleksej Grenz folded.
Both players checked the K♦ turn before Ryan bet another 600,000 on the 6♠ river. Targa quickly called and Ryan snap-mucked, allowing Targa to take the big pot without a showdown.
At the same time, Omar Eljach busted Edis Becic with a pair of kings on a board of 7♥J♦4♥J♣10♣, with Becic holding only a seven for an inferior two pair.
"Even a donkey picks up a hand every once in a while," Eljach said.
"At some point this is cheating. People are starting to complain," Sebastian Langrock said from another table.
