Strauss Vanquishes Velvelt in Cooler
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Tyson Strauss opened to 4,000 under the gun, and received a call from Bastian Gallitzendoerfer in the next seat, before Urmo Velvelt produced a three-bet to 20,000 from the small blind.
Strauss reached for chips to produce a small four-bet to 32,000, and Gallitzendoerfer called. Velvelt took advantage of the fact action had been reopened to five-bet jam for 141,000 total.
Strauss rejammed, and Gallitzendoerfer sighed, and quickly open-folded 10♠10♦.
Urmo Velvelt: K♣K♠ 
Tyson Strauss: A♥A♦
In a brutal cooler, Velvelt had run cowboys into rockets, and there was no escape on the Q♠10♣7♣8♠J♣ runout, the regret plain to see on Gallitzendoerfer's face when the ten hit on the flop.
