Tkatschew Doubles as Hand Busts
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alexander Tkatschew was down to 325,000 chips, which he got in from the button against Martin Klotz in the big blind.
Alexander Tkatschew: K?Q?
Martin Klotz: A?9?
The deck graced Tkatschew with a king on the 5?4?K? flop, and neither the 10? turn or 6? river brought an ace for Klotz. Tkatschew doubled up and overtook his opponent in the chip counts.
Meanwhile, on an adjacent table, Fintan Hand went all in on a board of 4?3?7?J?. He was looked up by his opponent, who covered him.
Fintan Hand: A?6?
Opponent: 6?3?
His opponent's pair of threes held when the river fell the K? and Hand swiftly exited the tournament area to collect his payout.
