Cech Picks Off O'Driscoll's Big River Raise
"There are three short stacks. Probably someone busts there soon," Bora Kurtulus told his new tablemates as he came over from the feature table with a massive stack of nearly 7,000,000 to take the seat of the departed Tobias Peters.
"It would be crazy if there's one here," Conor O'Driscoll replied, as all five players at the outer table had above-average stacks.
"We've got to be careful," Kurtulus added.
Vitezslav Cech then limped in from the small blind and O'Driscoll raised to 280,000 in the big blind. Cech called, and they saw a flop of 9♠8♠4♠.
O'Driscoll then bet 150,000 and Cech called. The J♠ turn was checked through, and Cech led out for 300,000 on the A♠ river. O'Driscoll then raised to 950,000, and Cech quickly called.
O'Driscoll showed K♦3♠, but Cech had Q♦10♠ for a better flush to win the big pot.
