Kohl With Towers as Sare's Stuck Plummets
Level 39
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Heger Sare opened A♦2♥ to 1,600,000 on the button and Jan Kohl called with 9♥8♥ from the small blind.
Both picked up draws on the 2♦7♦10♦ flop as Sare had a pair of deuces with the nut flush draw and Kohl had an open-ended straight draw. Kohl checked and then called a bet of 1,500,000 to see the 8♣ fall on the turn.
A lead of 3,000,000 followed from Kohl with his pair of eights, which put Sare in a tricky spot. Eventually, Sare called.
All eyes were on the river, and when the 4♥ landed, Kohl shoved. Sare didn't need to think for too long with his small pair before he released his hand and watched the pot go in Kohl's direction.
