Sturm Leaves Destruction in His Wake
First, Leon Sturm doubled up against Dmitrii Levin, going all-in preflop after some raising and three-bet action. Sturm held 10?10?, while Levin had A?Q?. The board nearly sent Sturm to the rail with the flop and turn revealing A?4?9?J?. However, luck was on Sturm's side with the 10? on the river, doubling him up to his remaining 5,700,000.
In the very next hand, Sturm opened with a raise on the button to 525,000, which was called by Samuel Kabelitz in the big blind.
Both players checked through the flop and turn, which showed 7?7?6?K?.
On the river Q?, Kabelitz took his time before going all in with his remaining 2,450,000. Sturm asked for a count to buy some time to think, as he had only one time bank card left. In the end, he made the call and caught Kabelitz's bluff, who showed 9?5?. Sturm revealed Q?9? for a pair of queens, boosting his stack to over 15,000,000 in just two hands.
