Full Over Flush for Krause

Maxime Taldir

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Cards went on their backs preflop between Rene Heinricher, at risk with approximately 165,000 chips in middle position, and Andreas Krause in the big blind.

Rene Heinricher: A?8?
Andreas Krause: K?K?

Heinricher's chair felt as he stood up on the flop 9?K?6?, which gave him a flush draw but handed a set to Krause. Then the Q? on the turn didn't change anything.

"Yes!" finally shouted Heinricher when a fourth spade landed on the river. However, he didn't realize that it was the Q?, which improved Krause's set into a full house.

When he finally realized he lost, Heinricher left the tournament area as he was eliminated.
