Lichtenberger Storms Back

[user75032]

Karga Holt may be smarting after a recent pot he played against Fabrice Soulier and Andy "LuckyChewy" Lichtenberger. We picked the action up on the turn with the board showing {Q-Hearts}

and 140,000 chips already in the pot. Lichtenberger checked to Holt, who fired out 110,000. Soulier folded; Lichtenberger called.

The river was the {7-Hearts}

. Again Lichtenberger checked. Holt counted down 200,000 chips and put them into the pot. Lichtenberger tanked for about a minute, then moved all in for 424,000. Holt unhappily tried to puzzle things out.

"We can only have the same hand," he finally decided. "I call."

Turns out that unless they were playing with a funny deck, there was no way Holt could have the same hand as Lichtenberger. Lichtenberger turned over {7-Diamonds}

for the nuts, quad sevens. Holt later claimed he had top two pair.

That pot was worth 1.2 million chips, restoring Lichtenberger to close to the chip lead. Holt is down to about 170,000.
