Sturm gets Max Value with Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Leon Sturm, who won Event #22: $50,000 High Roller earlier this summer, opened to 8,000 from early position and got a call from a player in middle position.
Both players checked the 8?Q?8? flop leading to the 3? turn. Sturm checked, his opponent bet 14,000 and Sturm raised to 46,000, receiving a call from his opponent.
Sturm fired again on the 3? river for 72,000. After about two minutes in the tank his opponent reluctantly put in the call. Sturm tabled A?A? for the winner and took down a sizable pot.
