Kurfner Doubles Through Candelari

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Patrick Kurfner

Picking up the action on the {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs} turn, Patrick Kurfner bet 26,500 in the big blind and Francesco Candelari called in the cutoff after glancing at the stack of his opponent.

Kurfner then shoved the {a-Clubs} river for his last 51,000 and Candelari started some table chat, talked through possible hands. He initially put his opponent on pocket fives and almost ruled out the seven-five, the clock was then called on him and the Italian called within the 30 seconds.

Kurfner tabled {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for the straight and Candelari mucked {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

The table broke right after and Kurfner mentioned "I only called because I was in the big blind."
