Ehlermann Cracks Two Pairs of Kings
Level 32
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
The action was caught as Ulrich Ehlermann was all in and at risk for his short stack from under the gun. In an unlikely showdown, Konstantinos Nanos, in the small blind, and Erik Polluveer, in the cutoff, both had pocket kings.
Ulrich Ehlermann: Q♠10♣
Konstantinos Nanos: K♠K♣
Erik Polluveer: K♥K♦
The Q♣7♠4♠ flop breathed life into Ehlermann, pairing his queen. The 9♦ turn changed nothing, but the 10♠ river propelled him into the lead. Ehlermann cracked two pairs of kings to triple up.
