Friendly Fire: Kapeller Rivers Aces Against Auer
Siegfried Kapeller opened the action with a raise to 4,000 from the cutoff, and Matthias Auer called from the big blind, setting the stage for a lighthearted battle between two Austrian players.
The flop came K?3?K?, and Auer checked. Kapeller followed up with a small continuation bet of 2,000, which Auer called without much hesitation.
The 6? turn saw no further action as both players checked.
On the A? river, Auer checked once more, and Kapeller seized the chance to bet 7,000. Auer snap-called, prompting Kapeller to reveal A?10? for two pair, kings and aces.
Auer let out a laugh, flipping over just the 8? as he remarked, "You got lucky on the river," implying he’d been ahead until the final card hit. The playful exchange added a touch of humor to the hand between the compatriots.
