Gumz Has No Luck With, and Against, Aces; Sturm Wins a Monster With a Straight Flush
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Fabian Gumz raised to 2,200 in the hijack before Pascal Pflock three-bet to 5,500 on the button. Gumz then moved all in and Pflock called off his last 30,500.
Pascal Pflock: A♣A♥
Fabian Gumz: A♠K♥
The board ran out J♣3♣6♣9♥Q♣ and Pflock finished with the nut flush to double up.
"I get aces, lose. I get ace-king the next hand and lose to aces. So stupid. I'm lucky you only had 30K," Gumz said with a smile. Orpen Kisacikoglu is also at this table.
At another table, Leon Sturm was the beneficiary of a massive cooler to climb up amongst the chip leaders. "300K pot. Nut flush versus straight flush. The nut flush had to be three perfect hearts," tablemate Jonathan Humphrey said.
