Wenzelburger Hits the Nuts Against Troyanovskiy
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Georgios Karakousis raised to 60,000 under the gun and Philipp Wenzelburger called in the hijack, as did big blind Vladimir Troyanovskiy.
All three players checked the 5?Q?A? flop. Troyanovskiy led out for 150,000 on the 7? turn and only Wenzelburger called.
The river was the 10? and Troyanovskiy bet another 65,000. Wenzelburger then raised to 250,000 and Troyanovskiy called.
Wenzelburger turned over K?J? for a rivered straight and Troyanovskiy mucked ace-five. Troyanovskiy then expressed surprise that Wenzelburger would play that hand.
"Why not? It's the nuts," Wenzelburger replied.
