Rezaei Immediately Bounces Back, Sends Sturm Home

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

In a single-raised pot to the 82J flop, Daniel Rezaei checked from the big blind. Leon Sturm then bet 25,000 in middle position, which Rezaei raised to 90,000. Sturm called, after which the K hit the turn.

Rezaei reverted to a check, prompting Sturm to bet 135,000. Rezei pulled a rare double check-raise by putting Sturm all in for about 500,000, and Sturm called off.

Leon Sturm: AK All in
Daniel Rezaei: Q9

Sturm made trips on the K river, but it was no good as Rezaei had completed his flush. Sturm said his goodbyes as Rezaei crossed the seven-figure mark again.
