Kurko Catches O'Sullivan Speeding

Level 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of J69 where Benedikt Wenzel checked from the big blind. Kimmo Kurko bet 4,000 from early position. Michael O'Sullivan called from middle position. Wenzel also called.

Wenzel and Kurko checked the 7 river before O'Sullivan bet 13,000. Wenzel folded and Kurko called. He then checked the 5 river, O'Sullivan fired a bet of 29,500. Kimmo took a moment before calling.

"Nice hand" said O'Sullivan as he showed KQ for a missed straight draw and king high and Kurko showed A9 which won him the pot.

O'Sullivan was left with 3,000 and bust shortly after.
