Brodeur Figures Out Heritsch
Michael Heritsch limped in from middle position and Olivier Brodeur made it 60,000 to go from the cutoff. When it got back to Heritsch, he called.
The flop came 7♦5♦2♥ and after Heritsch checked, Brodeur bet 80,000. Heritsch called to see the 9♠ turn, where both players quickly checked.
When the 8♣ dropped on the river, Heritsch shoved for 158,000.
"Did you go runner-runner straight, backdoored two pair, or did you miss a flush draw - which one is it?" asked Brodeur.
"It's one of the three," replied Heritsch.
After around 30 seconds of contemplating, Brodeur made the call.
Heritsch then showed A♣Q♦10♦10♠ for a busted flush draw and blockers to the nut straight, and Brodeur showed A♦K♥K♣6♥ for a pair of kings to scoop the pot.
"My gut told me you missed a flush draw," said Brodeur.
"Is that because you have the ace of diamonds?" Heritsch snapped back.
