Sturm's Pair is Bigger
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Klemens Roiter raised from the cutoff and was three-bet by Jesse Lonis to 7,000 from the button. Leon Sturm cold four-bet the small blind to 20,000, which only Lonis called.
Sturm continued with a bet of 15,500 on the 7♦6♥5♣ flop, and Lonis made the call.
Two checks followed the Q♣ turn and J♦ river. Sturm tabled 9♣9♠ for a pair of nines, which was good to win him the pot as Lonis turned over 8x8x.
