Neugebauer on the Rise
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
The 2023 WSOP Europe Main Event champion Max Neugebauer has vaulted his stack to two times the average in the second level of the day. In the latest hand, he was heads-up to the K♥8♦7♣2♣ turn on which Ibrahim Ghassan bet 7,000.
Neugebauer made it 25,000 to go and Ghassan reluctantly folded. After his tank, Ghassan asked if Neugebauer had king-queen, then added "definitely not king-jack".
Neugebauer responded with a question of his own regards the holdings of his opponent and Ghassan declared he folded king-ten.
