Sturm Still Stacking Chips
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
On a board of A♣5♣3♥, the player in the big blind checked to Leon Sturm who put out a bet of 2,500. The big blind called, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the 8♠.
Both players checked through the turn to see a 4♠ river card.
The big blind checked over to Sturm who put in a bet of 10,000. The player in the big blind thought briefly before check-raising to 36,000.
Sturm went into the tank for a couple minutes before eventually sliding out calling chips. His opponent turned over 6♥5♦, having turned third pair into a bluff on the river only to be second best to the A♠7♣ of Sturm who is still dragging pots just a few days after winning his first WSOP bracelet and $1,500,000.
