Hansson Goes Runner-Runner for the Wheel

Christian Zetzsche

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

In what started as a limped pot, Valter Hansson out of the small blind and Önder Yavuz in the big blind repotted to get some 15,300 each into the middle. They headed to the flop on which Hansson jammed for 18,200 and Yavuz called with the covering stack by one big blind.

"He has kings," Yavuz predicted but Ricardas Vymeris on the button replied "no, I folded kings."

Valter Hansson: - not kings
Önder Yavuz - aces and a gutshot

The turn gave Hansson unexpected outs and he got there with the river. Yavuz had some 800 chips left, which he lost the next hand.
