Flying the Flag for Englund

With Stephane Reusser pushing all in from the cutoff for a total of 23,400, the action ground to a halt on Said Englund on the button who, after meticulous thought, made the call. David Stucke also seemed interested in the small blind, but made a pained fold, and after JP Kelly had ducked out of the way in the big, the cards were revealed: Englund with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}; Reusser {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}.

But poker's a cruel, sadistic game, and none more so than when the money gets steep. On this occasion, it was Reusser who felt their wrath, the river of a {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{A-Hearts} board dealing the fatal low blow and sending him home.
