Sturm Steals the Pot on the River
Leon Sturm raised to 170,000 in early position with K♦10♣ and was called by Will Kassouf in middle position with Q♣J♥. Hieu Le came along with Q♥10♥ in the hijack along with Ruben Costa in the big blind with 6♥5♥.
The dealer fanned the flop of A♥Q♦4♦ and Sturm continued with a bet of 155,000. Kassouf and Le called while Costa threw away his rags. The A♦ rolled off on the turn which slowed down the action.
"Now we have a situation," Kassouf said as Sturm started with a check. The action checked around and the 6♣ completed the board.
Sturm fired out a bet of 685,000 on the river with just king-high after missing his straight and flush draws. Kassouf went into the tank for nearly four minutes before the clock was called and he eventually laid his hand down. Le also folded and Sturm got away with some highway robbery.
