Hand Takes No Lipp
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
There was around 39,000 already in the middle in a pot between PokerStars Ambassador Fintan Hand in early position, and Matthias Lipp in the cutoff.
On the 4♠K♥10♠ flop Hand checked to his opponent, who put out a bet of 11,000. Hand produced a check-raise to 25,000, leaving himself only around 31,000 behind.
Lipp moved all in and Hand made the quick call to put himself at risk.
Fintan Hand: 9♠10♠
Matthias Lipp: K♦5♦
Lipp was ahead with a pair of kings but Hand had plenty of outs and didn't have to wait long to hit one, as the 5♠ rolled off on the turn to complete his flush, although Lipp still had outs as he turned two pair.
However the 9♥ completed the runout and gave Hand the double-up.
