Sturm Doubles With Big Slick vs Coleman's Big Slick
Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jesse Lonis raised the button to 130,000 before Leon Sturm three-bet to 440,000 from the small blind. David Coleman tanked for a little while, then clicked it out of the big blind to 750,000. Lonis folded, but Sturm five-bet jammed for 1,970,000. Coleman put in the call.
Leon Sturm: A♦K♠ 
David Coleman: A♠K♦
A chop seemed like the most likely outcome until the monotone flop of J♦2♦Q♦ flop came down to give Sturm the better flush draw. Sturm's double-up was cemented when the 4♦ turn completed his flush, as an inconsequential 10♠ came on the river.
Sturm doubled up into the chip lead, while Coleman was down to two million.
