Diamonds Are Thierfelder's Best Friend
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Jan Thierfelder in the big blind and Chris Johnson in early position were looking at a completed board of 7♣J♦2♦Q♠10♦. With a big pot of 28,500 in the middle, Thierfelder fired a bet of 13,000, just under half his remaining stack.
Johnson eyed the bet for a bit, inquired about his opponent's remaining chips, and then put in a call.
Thierfelder showed K♦3♦ for the second nuts, and Johnson nodded before he mucked his cards in defeat.
