Day 2 – MPF Autumn 2024

Polish Duel: Falkowski Takes the Chips

Level 16: 5000/10,000 (10,000)
Entries: 256/2045

Jaroslaw Falkowski opened the pot to 20,000 from a stack of only 137,000 and got called by Marvin Dubau on the small blind. Another Polish player, Przemyslaw Drab, was in the big blind and raised it up to 80,000, which led to Falkowski going all in. Dubau folded, and Drab made the call. They revealed their hands: Falkowski held Q♥Q♦ while Drab showed A♠Q♣.

The flop came 4♣10♠K♦, giving Drab a few more outs as every J would now complete a straight. The 4♦ on the turn was safe for Falkowski, and the 9♦ river sealed the deal, letting him scoop the pot from his fellow countryman.

Jaroslaw Falkowski – 204,000
Przemyslaw Drab – 360,000
