Kurth Survives All-In Moment
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Michael Kurth, who was in the blinds, was short stacked and got involved in a three-way preflop pot with approximately 30,000 in the middle.
The pot grew after the dealer fanned 4♦3♦3♠ on the board. Kurth and the player to his right, who had Kurth covered, were all in, and their actions forced out a player in early position. The cards were then tabled.
Michael Kurth: 9♦8♦
Opponent: Q♠3♥
Kurth was behind on the flop against trip threes, but the J♦ appeared on the turn to give him a flush. He had to dodge a queen and the board pairing, but was safe when 7♠ hit the river.
While he remains short stacked, he scored a much-needed double up to keep hope alive.
