Kruse Flops Big
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Tamon Nakamura opened to 16,000 on the button before Max Kruse moved his last 74,000 into the middle in the small blind. The big blind got out of the way to send the action back to Nakamura who quickly called.
Max Kruse: A♥5♥
Tamon Nakamura: J♥10♥
"Hearts no good" said Kruse before the flop came A♣6♦5♦ to vault the German into a near unassailable lead. The K♦ turn did provide a sweat but the comeback was not to be as the 8♦ river confirmed the double for Kruse.
