More Than a Flesh Wound for Sturm
Thomas Boivin opened to 17,000 from under the gun and Leon Sturm three-bet to 51,000 in middle position. Cary Katz was mid conversation with Bryn Kenney but stopped talking to move all in for around 320,000 from the small blind.
Sturm asked for a count and Katz cheered. "I love when they ask how much! It means you don't have aces."
Katz then launched into a Borat impression — "Very NICE! You don't have aces!" — before Sturm called with a slightly smaller stack.
Leon Sturm: A♠K♦
Cary Katz: Q♣Q♥
The flip was never a fair fight as the board ran out Q♦6♦4♠4♣6♥ to give Katz queens full as Sturm was sent to the rail, but not before a needle from the PokerGO founder.
"It's just a flesh wound," said Katz.
"It's not just a flesh wound," corrected Nick Petrangelo. "It's the full wound."
