Kerzhap'd

Marcin Horecki opened to 19,000 from late position, and both blinds came along for a three-handed flop. The dealer spread it out {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Spades}. Small blind Bastian Trachte has the oddest way of betting, and we'd see it again here. After a full minute of sitting like a statue, Trachte very deliberately announced, "Thirty-eight," in the most matter-of-fact manner possible. Right behind him, Yury Kerzhapkin moved all in for 59,000 total. That put the decision on Horecki, and he too moved all in, committing his final ~175,000 to the pot. Trachte didn't seem to want to, but he laid his hand down and let the other two do battle.

Showdown
Kerzhapkin: {2-Spades} {4-Clubs}
Horecki: {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Horecki's overpair was well ahead, and he would hold up as the turn and river came {10-Hearts} and {6-Diamonds}. Unable to get over the hump, Kerzhapkin has been eliminated after another fine performance this week.
