Lucky Double Up for Sturz Against Dickerson
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mengshi Tian opened to 4,500 from under the gun. He was called by Ferry Ikink to his left and by Markus Sturz in middle position. Seated on the next seat, Jules Dickerson squeezed to 20,000 and made Tian fold. Ikink folded too, but Sturz made the call.
A flop of K♠Q♠8♥ landed on the felt, and Sturz didn't wait to go all in for 35,000. Dickerson snap-called.
Markus Sturz: 7♠6♠
Jules Dickerson: A♣K♣
Dickerson called with top pair, while Sturz had a flush draw. He didn't hit the flush, but a runner-runner straight to double up thanks to the turn 10♣ and the river 9♣. "I didn't see the straight," said Dickerson.
Down to 70,000, Dickerson was seen leaving the main room a few minutes later as he was eliminated.
