Fuller and Hinkelmann Earn Pots in Different Ways
Romain Nattaf called a bet of 15,500 by Samuel Fuller on the K♥10♦4♠5♣ turn and then checked the J♦ river. Fuller pushed forward two T-25,000 chips for a large bet and Nattaf was visibly upset.
"Did you really have ace-queen?" he sighed and even exposed three of his four cards, the A♦K♦10♥. The dealer was about to muck them but Nattaf insisted he had not folded yet, only did so verbally a few seconds later.
Fuller offered to reveal his cards and pushed them towards Nattaf, who glanced at them. "Only king-queen? Oh wait, you have a straight," he said without revealing the cards to the rest of the table.
Heiko Hinkelmann also won a pot, though, his came in a showdown. Three ways to the 10♣8♦5♣A♦Q♠ river, Dmitrij Fadeev checked in the small blind and Hinkelmann bet 7,500 in the big blind. Vasil Medarov called on the button and Fadeev folded.
The K♦J♦6♥2♥ of Hinkelmann were the nuts and he added more chips to a growing tower.
