Liechti Tables Nuts
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
In a pot worth 40,000, Markus Liechti checked the 10♦3♣9♥6♥ turn from middle position to Brian O'Connell in the cutoff. O'Connell then bet 21,000, and Liechti responded by moving all in for 71,500.
O'Connell spent some time in the tank before he called with the covering stack.
Markus Liechti: 8♥7♦
Brian O'Connell: A♥Q♥
O'Connell needed a heart to knock out Liechti, but the river came the meaningless J♣ instead. Liechti's straight doubled him up, surpassing O'Connell in the counts.
