Pudel Takes His Time
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Timo Kamphues opened to 100,000 from under the gun before Jacob Amsellem three-bet to 250,000 on his direct left. Nils Pudel made it 800,000 from middle position, leaving 65,000 behind. Kamphues folded but Amsellem called.
Amsellem checked in the dark before the dealer put out the K?K?J? flop. Pudel tanked for several minutes before checking back.
Amsellem put Pudel all in on the 4? turn. And again Pudel mulled over his options for an age due to the payjump. He ended up committing his last few chips.
Nils Pudel: Q?Q?
Jacob Amsellem: A?J?
Pudel was ahead and remained best after the K? river and double up in a hand that took ten minutes to play out.
