Franz Bad Beats Szarka for a Double
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
There was a three-bet to 41,000 in front of Johannes Franz out of the small blind and Zoltan Szarka on the button then four-bet to 95,000. Franz went into the tank and then moved all in for Szarka to beat him into the pot.
Johannes Franz: J♦J♠
Zoltan Szarka: A♥A♣
Franz instantly exclaimed a loud "fuck" and jumped out of his chair while a friend on the rail was cheering for him, predicting "it will come.”
Franz asked for a jack before the 10♦8♦7♦ flop gave him a gutshot straight flush draw. No help arrived with the K♥ turn, but the 4♦ river secured his double for 318,000, causing vivid celebrations by the German.
