Sturm Causes Cooler
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Dimtrijs Prohorovs raised to 10,000 from the hijack, and both blinds Matas Cimbolas and Leon Sturm called. The flop of Q?4?Q? was then checked to Prohorovs, who continued with another 10,000 bet. Cimbolas folded but Sturm had other plans and put in a raise to 32,000.
Prohorovs called and the 9? turn was dealt. Sturm kept up the aggression with a bet of 65,000, and once more Prohorovs made the call.
On the 6? river, Sturm went for a sizing of 160,000. Prohorovs thought about it for a little while before deciding he could not fold. He called and saw the bad news when Sturm tabled K?Q? for trip queens. Prohorovs showed his Q? before cutting out the call from his stack.
By winning this pot Sturm passed the one million-chip mark.
