Hammann Gives Geiger "A Gift"
Level 30
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Florian Geiger raised to 500,000 under the gun and only Benjamin Hammann called from the big blind.
Hammann chose to lead out for a bet of 250,000 on the 9♣6♥9♦ flop. Geiger called.
Another lead out for 250,000 came from Hammann when he saw the 5♠ on the turn. Again, Geiger just called.
Hammann elected to check the 10♠ river, and Geiger took the opportunity to place out a tiny bet of his own, choosing 350,000.
Hammann thought briefly and then said, "A gift, I know I lose". Hammann then called and was shown K♠K♦ by Geiger.
This won Geiger the pot, as Hammann mucked J♦8♦ for a pair of eights.
