Kuntz Takes the Lead

Calum Grant

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Maximilian Kuntz A♠A♣ opened to 2,400,000 from under the gun. Fishburger 5♥5♦ and Silver1964 A♥Q♣ called from the blinds.

Kuntz stayed ahead on the Q♦7♥2♣ flop, while Silver1964 made top-pair-top-kicker. Silver1964 led out for 6,000,000 and only Kuntz called.

Silver1964 jammed on the 4♣ turn and was snap-called by the overpair. Kuntz was at risk for his last 14,000,000.

The 6♥ river gave Kuntz the massive pot and he sailed to the top of the chip counts.
