Sturz into the Chip Lead
Level 11
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Markus Sturz raised on the button and Mikhail Vilkov defended his big blind.
The flop came 
and Vilkov bet 10,000. Sturz called. Vilkov bet again on the 
turn and Katerninka called. The river was the 
and Vilkov bet for a third time. Sturz pushed all in and Vilkov called.
Mikhail Vilkov: 
- trip nines
Markus Sturz: 
- full house, aces full of nines.
Vilkov was eliminated, not before he stood up with his hands on his head in utter amazement, and Vilkov moves up to well over 200,000 in chips.
