Auer Gets a Gift
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Matthias Auer raised to 55,000 from the small blind and Joseph Druetto reraised to 115,000 in the big blind. Auer called and the flop of J?8?6? was spread across the felt.
Auer checked to Druetto who bet 110,000 and Auer still called. The turn was the K? and Auer checked again. Druetto ripped all in for 565,000 and Auer quickly called.
Joseph Druetto: A?Q?
Matthias Auer: K?J?
Auer made two pair on the turn while Druetto was left drawing to just a straight draw. The river was the 7? and Druetto was bounced from the tournament.
"Merry Christmas," one player at the table said to Auer who is now playing a stack over 3,000,000.
