Habegger Wins One; Loses One
Fernando Habegger relayed a hand he had just won to PokerNews:
Habegger raised under the gun to 10,000 and a player three-bet to 22,000. The action folded back around to him as he made the call.
On the 5x5x6x flop, Habegger check-raised the 20,000 bet to 45,000 and his opponent jammed for 110,000, which he called.
Opponent: AxAxQx7x
Fernando Habegger: 8x7x6x5x
Habegger had flopped a full house and the board ran out Qx on the turn and Jx on the river for him to eliminate his opponent.
The following hand, Stephen Graner raised to 9,000 and Habegger defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of K?6?2? and Habegger check-called a bet of 16,000.
The 9? hit the turn and Habegger checked once again before Graner made a pot-sized bet of 56,000.
"What do you have back? About 18,000?" Habegger asked, before putting in a raise. Graner quickly called off his stack of 71,000 and both hands were tabled.
Stephen Graner: Q?J?5?5?
Fernando Habegger: 9?8?6?2?
Habegger was ahead with his two pair but the 10? river improved Graner to a straight as he collected the double up.
