Sturm Wins a Battle of the Blinds With Lonis

Tim Baker

Level 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised to 180,000 out of the small blind and Leon Sturm defended his big blind.

Lonis bet 115,000 on the 3♣3♥9♣ flop, which Sturm called.

Lonis fired again on the 3♦ turn, this time for 210,000. Once again, Sturm called.

Both checked the 6♣ river and Lonis turned over king-high with K♠5♠. Sturm showed a flush with A♣8♣ and the pot went over to him.
