Confusion Sends Wulf to the Rail
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Oliver Wulf raised to 700 from under the gun, which the player directly to his left called. Giovanni La Padula then inadvertently three-bet from the small blind. Intending to call, the chips he put into the middle were deemed a raise, and he was forced to make it 1,100. Wulf then four-bet to 5,000, which saw the original caller quickly fold.
La Padula then five-bet jammed, having Wulf covered, and after some deliberation, Wulf called, putting his stack of around 17,500 at risk.
Oliver Wulf: A♥6♥
Giovanni La Padula: 7♥7♣
Wulf found some help on the K♦6♦J♣ flop, but it was all over on the 7♦ turn, as La Padula improved to an unassailable set. The A♣ river was irrelevant, despite improving Wulf to two pair, and he headed to the exit.
