Politika Pulls Ahead
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Raul Paez in middle position, Remigijus Politika in the hijack, and Thomas Hueber in the cutoff had created a pot of 16,500 when they went to a flop of Q?A?5?, which they all checked.
The 3? turn then saw Paez bet 10,000 and Politiki call. Hueber quickly let go of his cards before the 10? river completed the board.
Both remaining players knuckled the table. Paez showed A?K?Q?6? for two pair, but it was no good against Politika's Q?Q?9?6?, who took down the pot with his set.
