Unlucky Flop For Gerth
Level 11: 1000/2500 (2500)
Entries: 151/346
Gareth McIntosh opened from an early position and got a call from Dirk Gerth on the button, with Netherlands’ Huibrecht Den Boer (pictured below) completing from the big blind. The flop came K♦Q♠8♥, and Boer quickly led out with a 10,000 bet from the big blind. McIntosh folded, but Gerth responded by moving all-in for his remaining 34,500 chips. Boer snap-called, and the cards were revealed:
- Huibrecht Den Boer: K♠8♠ (two pair)
- Dirk Gerth: K♣J♦ (top pair)
Gerth needed a jack to keep his tournament life, but instead, the turn brought the 8♣, completing a full house for Boer. The river 7♥ sealed the hand, and Gerth was eliminated as Boer took down the pot in a dominating fashion.
Huibrecht Den Boer: 146,000
Dirk Gerth: 0
