Muehloecker Has Kicker Problems; Roiter Busts
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Thomas Muehloecker made it 17,000 under the gun with Espen Jorstad calling from the cutoff, and Leon Sturm defending his big blind.
Two checks followed the 4♠Q♠8♥ flop, and Jorstad bet 16,000. Sturm called, but Muehloecker check-raised to 58,000. Jorstand was the only caller.
The 8♠ turn and 3♠ river checked through, and Muehloecker revealed Q♦10♥ for a pair of queens. Jorstad had that beat with K♥Q♣ for the better kicker, and the pot went his way.
At a nearby table, Klemens Roiter was seen putting his coat on as he was eliminated from the tournament.
