Renke Gets Paid on Three Streets

Garrett Boltjes limped in from the hijack, before Kajetan Renke on his direct left opted to raise to 46,000. When action folded round to Boltjes, he just called again.

In fact, Boltjes did not take any aggressive action at all throughout the hand. Following two flat calls preflop, he then check-called the A♥6♣9♦ flop for 33,000, before doing the same on the A♣ turn, except this time the amount was 52,000. Boltjes then checked in the dark, as the 7♦ river peeled off. Renke fired a third barrel, for 64,000, and Boltjes put in the call.

He tabled K♥K♠ for two pair, but it was no good against the A♠3♦ of Renke, who scooped a huge pot that took him over the seven-figure mark.
