Thumann Finds River Hero-Call
Lukas Timko opened to 100,000 from the button, and Hans Thumann defended the big blind.
On the K♠6♣2♣ flop, Thumann check-called in the face of a continuation bet of 85,000 from Timko.
The 2♠ turn was checked to the 5♣ river, where Thumann checked once more. Timko fired out a pot-sized bet of 430,000, and Thumann went into the tank.
After using two timebanks, suddenly he made the call. Timko tabled A♦7♣ for ace-high, and Thumann had found the call with 5♦3♦, his gutshot improving to a rivered two pair, fives and twos.
Thumann earnt the praise of Robert Zipf and Fabio Peluso, who congratulated him on the call, "True professional", said Zipf.
Thumann stacked up a nice pot, his hands starting to shake from the adrenaline coursing through his body.
