Beware The Wounded Walther

Jens Walther
Jens Walther
Action folded to Gerome Guitteau in the small blind who declared himself all in against the short-stacked Jens Walther in the big blind. Walther had around 180,000 chips, and after a few minutes of thought, he declared a call.

Guitteau: {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}
Walther: {k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Walther finds a double up with his pair of kings.

"Thank you," chirped Walther.

"You're welcome," was the polite reply from Guitteau.

Two hands later and Simon Watt opened to 38,000 and like a wounded animal Walther bit back once again by splashing all of his chips into the middle "Phil Hellmuth style". Watt quickly folded as Walther flashed the {9-Clubs} and stared down his opponent rather dramatically.

Walther is back up over 400,000 chips.
