Kuether Scoops
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Alexis Cruz Martinez limped in under the gun, and Michael Wilklow did the same from the cutoff. Aaron Steele then shoved from the small blind, Joseph Kuether reshoved his big, and Cruz Martinez also wagered all of his chips. Wilklow thought for a while before folding.
Aaron Steele: 9♠8♥
Joseph Kuether: A♠8♦
Alexis Cruz Martinez: 8♣6♣
Kuether was comfortably in the lead and dominating both opponents, but Cruz Martinez didn't lose hope, asking the dealer to "flush them out." He came close, but the 5♥2♦10♣4♣K♠ runout gave him, nothing more than a sweat, as Kuether picked up Steele's bounty.
