Uharcek Calls Correctly Against Grau

Christian Zetzsche

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Tim Grau raised to 5,600 right before the blinds went up and was called by Samuel Ju on the button, Marek Uharcek in the small blind Marc Palatzky in the big blind.

The J♠7♥4♥ flop was checked and Palatzky then bet the Q♣ turn for 16,000. Grau called, Ju folded and Uharcek also came along.

That brought a trio of players to the 8♣ river on which Uharcek and Palatzky checked. Grau bet 56,000 and was called by Uharcek only.

Grau showed the A♠Q♥10♦5♣ for just one pair but Uharcek won the pot with the 7♠6♣6♥5♥.

Level 7 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
