Wiechers Escapes From Elimination
Level 20
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Sean Bloom raised the button to 45,000 and Rudolf Fourie three-bet to 115,000 in the small blind. The very active Keenan Pienaar four-bet to more than 600,000 and both folded.
One hand later, Taariq Jaftha raised from an early position and was called by Pienaar in the small blind as well as Nico Wiechers in the big blind. Pienaar checked the J♦8♠2♥ flop and Wiechers jammed for 165,000. Jaftha called and Pienaar folded, albeit with a sm irk on the face.
Nico Wiechers: 10♠9♦
Taariq Jaftha: 2♣2♦
The 7♣ turn improved Wiechers to the jack-high straight, and the Q♠ river bumped it up to the queen-high straight for the double.
