Blitzberg
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Moments after busting one player by virtue of a runner-runner catch to make a straight, Paul Spitzberg used a real hand to dispatch yet another opponent.
Spitzberg looked down to find ![]()
in the hole and he opened to 14,000 in middle position. The action folded around the the big blind, who three-bet to 40,000, only to see Spitzberg move all in for 175,000 effective.
"I have you covered and I got you beat," Spitzberg told the man he had just put all in. "Fold."
This bit of misdirection worked to perfection and his opponent made the call with ![]()
, finding himself crushed by Spitzberg's cowboys.
The final board ran out ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
, and with that a table captain had suddenly emerged.
