Fritz Chips Up With Top Pair
Manuel Fritz raised to 250,000 from the hijack, and 'Tarzan' was the only caller from the cutoff.
Fritz check-called a bet of 200,000 from 'Tarzan' on the K♦A♠7♣ flop and then did the same on the 6♣ turn when 'Tarzan' fired a second barrel of 350,000.
Both players checked the 9♥ river, and Fritz tabled A♥2♣ for top pair. It was enough to win the pot as 'Tarzan' revealed 2♥2♦ for an underpair to the board.
As 'Tarzan' tossed his cards towards the dealer, one of them landed on top of the nine on the river, leading Fritz to believe that 'Tarzan' had called his raise with nine-deuce.
Realizing his mistake, Fritz laughed and said, "Ahh, he had deuces. I thought it was nine-deuce."
Fabian Gumz sarcastically replied, "Yeah, he would really show you he called with nine-deuce," drawing plenty of laughter from the table.
