Gehbauer Smacks the River; Pelster Joins the Rail
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Florian Gehbauer got all of his 380,000 chips into the middle preflop with Frank Pelster trying to win them all.
Florian Gehbauer: A♣J♠
Frank Pelster: 10♥10♦
Peister's pair of tens remained in the lead through the 4♣8♠9♥ flop and 6♠ turn. Only an ace or a jack on the river could save Gehbauer.
The dealer burned a card and then put out the J♦ to complete the board, giving Gehbauer top pair, and he doubled up.
Pelster was left with under ten big blinds, and was eeliminated a few hands later.
