Daniel Has the Bigger Boat

Level 4 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Catching the action on the river with the board showing AJQJ7. Bernd Gleissner checked from middle position and Tomer Daniel bet 12,000 from the hijack. Gleissner check-raised to 30,000 causing Daniel to go into the tank.

After thinking for quite some time, Daniel reluctantly called. Gleissner confidently turned over KQJ5 for a full house, jacks full of queens. However, Daniel had that beat with AJ93 for the better full house and took down the pot.
