Putz’s Back-and-Forth Battle
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
In the first hand, Andreas Putz raised to 55,000 and faced an all-in from Jaison Cardoso, which he called.
Jaison Cardoso: J?10?
Andreas Putz: A?K?
Cardoso hit a ten on the 3?Q?10? flop, but Putz improved to a pair of kings with the K? turn. However, the 9? river gave Cardoso a straight, securing the double-up for him.
With only 85,000 left, Putz went all-in again in the very next hand, this time against Gabriel Cunha. Putz held Q?Q?, while Cunha had A?J?.
The board came 10?8?5?6?10?, and Putz’s pocket queens held up, allowing him to double up.
