Three in a Row for Weiss; Duek Takes All the Profit
Talal Shakerchi limped in with the A♥8♥8♦3♣ from under the gun and Dennis Weiss in the big blind checked the 10♦10♣5♣2♣ to see the monotone A♠9♠5♠ flop, which both players checked. On the 2♦ turn, they both checked again and saw the Q♣ river for free. No more betting took place and Weiss won the pot with two pair, fives and deuces.
Weiss then potted with the A♠A♣8♦5♥ and claimed the big blind and ante of Shakerchi.
The next pot-sized raise by the German came on the button with A♣K♥3♣2♣ and he got through with it again.
Weiss then potted the 10♥10♠6♦4♠ and Michael Duek defended the big blind holding K♠K♥Q♦7♠. On the A♠K♣J♣ flop, Duek hit middle set and check-called a bet of 1,150,000 by Weiss to then boat up on the A♣ turn. He checked and Weiss checked behind, and did so again on the 3♣ river to concede all of his previous winnings.
