"I'm Just a Kid With a Dream"

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The 24-year-old platinum pass winner, Alexander Herrmann, was involved in a pot against Mauricio Pais. Herrmann was in the big blind and Pais was in the cutoff. There was 5,200 in the pot.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Pais continued for 1,800 when checked to. Herrmann raised to 7,000 and Pais quickly called.

Action checked through on the {a-Spades} turn and the {k-Hearts} river. Herrmann showed {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for top pair. A tablemate said "He's not nervous anymore" as the German took in the pot. Herrmann responded "I'm just a kid with a dream." and another tablemate muttered, "What I'd do to be 24 again."
