Bluem Busts Casagrande
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Big blind Harry Casagrande was already all in and battling for a main pot of 135,000 when the J♣2♠7♥A♣ turn was dealt. Han Kuo under the gun and Bastian Bluem on the button had created a side pot of 70,000, and Kuo checked to Bluem.
Bluem bet 100,000, which Kuo called. The 5♣ river saw Bluem size up to 180,000. Kuo check-folded after some time in the tank, and Bluem tabled A♦K♠K♣3♦ for top pair.
Casagrande could not beat it with his Q♠9♥7♠2♣, and he said his goodbyes to the table before departing the tournament area.
