Beltz Comes From Behind to Double
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Wouter Beltz raised to 5,000 in early position and Julien Sitbon called on the button. Samy Barka then moved all in, Beltz called for 35,000, and Sitbon folded.
Wouter Beltz: K♣Q♥
Samy Barka: A♦Q♣
Beltz was trailing until the K♠6♥3♠ flop gave him a pair of kings and the lead. The board ran out 9♠5♦ to secure his double up.
"Thank you for your donation," Beltz said after the hand, a comment that drew the ire of Barka.
"I was talking to him. A free 5K," Beltz added, pointing at Sitbon.
"I thought you were talking to me," Barka said, laughing off the bad beat.
"Free money for you, as well. A free 5K," Beltz replied.
