Hrabec Leaves Lichtenberger on Fumes
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Roman Hrabec opened to 100,000 from the cutoff and was called by Andrew Lichtenberger on the button. Fabian Gumz came along from the big blind to create a three-way pot.
It checked to Lichtenberger, who bet 125,000 on the J♦10♦5♣ flop. Gumz bowed out with a fold, but Hrabec called.
The 4♣ turn was checked by Hrabec before Lichtenberger fired 750,000. Hrabec called.
Hrabec continued to check on the 4♠ river. Lichtenberger unleashed a third barrel to the tune of 1,900,000.
An agonized Hrabec went into the tank as he gave the spot considerable thought.
Hrabec flicked in a blue chip for a call, and Lichtenberger revealed Q♦Q♣. Hrabec was relieved as he turned over A♦A♠ for a better pocket pair to scoop the massive pot.
