Thalmann Gets a Full Double With a Boat
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Yves Thalmann raised under the gun to 2,500 and Alon Huberman called in the hijack. Thomas Mjeldheim squeezed to 4,500 from the cutoff, which Thalmann and Huberman both called.
Thalmann and Huberman checked after the dealer spread the 7♥A♠8♥ flop, and Mjeldheim fired for 4,500. Thalmann check-raised to 14,000, forcing Huberman to fold. Mjeldheim, however, quickly called.
Thalmann continued with a bet of around 20,000 on the 8♦ turn, and again Mjeldheim called.
The J♠ completed the board, prompting Thalmann to shove for his remaining 33,900. Mjeldheim tanked for quite some time before making the call for around a third of his stack.
Thalmann turned over 7♠7♣ for a full house to earn the double-up, while Mjeldheim showed A♣10♣ for top pair.
