Hand Takes No Lipp
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
There was around 39,000 already in the middle in a pot between PokerStars Ambassador Fintan Hand in early position, and Matthias Lipp in the cutoff.
On the 4?K?10? flop Hand checked to his opponent, who put out a bet of 11,000. Hand produced a check-raise to 25,000, leaving himself only around 31,000 behind.
Lipp moved all in and Hand made the quick call to put himself at risk.
Fintan Hand: 9?10?
Matthias Lipp: K?5?
Lipp was ahead with a pair of kings but Hand had plenty of outs and didn't have to wait long to hit one, as the 5? rolled off on the turn to complete his flush, although Lipp still had outs as he turned two pair.
However the 9? completed the runout and gave Hand the double-up.
