Alexander Rettenbacher Loses Half the Stack
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Alexander Rettenbacher raised to 20,000 in the cutoff and Gilbert Asmowidjojo three-bet to 50,000 from one seat over. Action folded back to Rettenbacher, who moved all in. Asmowidjojo gave it some thought and time was called on him. The Dutchman was seemingly upset that this had been done far too quickly, but eventually called for his tournament life.
Asmowidjojo: 
Rettenbacher: 
The board ran out 
and Asmowidjojo doubled for 226,000 with a set of tens.
