The Wolf Becomes the First Casualty

Level 1 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

With 300,000 in the middle already and the board reading {a-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, The Wolf led out for 150,000 from middle position. Steffen Sontheimer raised to 350,000 on the button and The Wolf quickly called.

The river was the {10-Clubs} and The Wolf bet a single 500,000 chip. Sontheimer raised to 1.6 million and The Wolf opened his hand, showing {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. It appeared The Wolf was unsure of the raise and thought the players were at showdown. The dealer thought he was folding but The Wolf quickly asked for his cards back.

After The Wolf pushed the rest of his chips in the middle for a total of around 1.4 million, Sontheimer tabled {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a full house. There was a bit of controversy as to what the correct ruling should be, but it resulted in Sontheimer winning the pot and The Wolfbusted his first entry in the first level of play.
