Lechner Wins Back to Back Pots
Nils Lechner raised to 8,000 from under the gun and was called by Anton Johnson in the small blind.
The flop came A♦9♥7♥ and Johnson led out for 11,000. Lechner called.
The 3♠ was the turn and Johnson bet 16,000. Again Lechner called.
The river was the 2♥ and Johnson checked. Lechner put out a bet of 25,000 which caused Johnson to fold.
The very next hand action folded around to the cutoff who moved all in for 58,000. Action folded around to Lechner in the big blind who asked for a count. Once the count was made Lechner called.
Cutoff: 10♥10♠
Nils Lechner: J♣J♠
His opponent wasn't happy to see that his pocket pair was dominated by Lechner's. There was no drama as the board ran out clean for Lechner when it came 8♦5♦5♣8♥6♦ to eliminate his opponent from the tournament.
