Wenzelburger Hits the Nuts Against Troyanovskiy
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Georgios Karakousis raised to 60,000 under the gun and Philipp Wenzelburger called in the hijack, as did big blind Vladimir Troyanovskiy.
All three players checked the 5♣Q♥A♦ flop. Troyanovskiy led out for 150,000 on the 7♣ turn and only Wenzelburger called.
The river was the 10♦ and Troyanovskiy bet another 65,000. Wenzelburger then raised to 250,000 and Troyanovskiy called.
Wenzelburger turned over K♣J♠ for a rivered straight and Troyanovskiy mucked ace-five. Troyanovskiy then expressed surprise that Wenzelburger would play that hand.
"Why not? It's the nuts," Wenzelburger replied.
