Strobel Makes a Big Hero Call
Philip Skarstedt raised to 3,500 from middle position. A player in a later position exposed the K♦ as they muck their hand prelop and Adrian Strobel defended in the big blind.
Strobel check-called a bet of 4,000 from Skarstedt on a flop of 9♦K♣Q♣.
The 5♠ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Skarstedt sized up to 15,000.
The 3♥ river saw Strobel check again. Skarstedt moved all in for Strobel's effective stack of 57,500, sending Strobel into the tank.
Strobel thought for so long the clock was eventually called. The tournament director counted down his final five seconds before Strobel decided to make the call.
Adrian Strobel: K♥10♠
Philip Skarstedt: A♥J♣
Strobel openly discussed how the exposed card made it a very difficult spot, but ultimately made the correct decision to stay alive.
