Kretz Implodes!

Andrey Pateychuk raises to 200,000 on the button and Stanislaw Kretz three-bets to 560,000 from the small blind. Back to Pateychuk and he four bets to 980,000! Just when we are expecting a shove or fold moment, Kretz surprises us all with a call and we have a 2 million pot going to the flop.

Flop: [Kh] [9s] [2s]

Kretz quickly checks and Pateychuk checks his cards before also checking.

Turn: [As]

Kretz is not checking anymore! He just moves his entire stack of golden plaques into the middle of the table and it is exactly 1 million chips! Pateychuk also delves into his gold and makes the call and the middle of the table is starting to resemble a tile factory!

River: [3d]

There is 4 million in the pot and Kretz checks very quickly. Pateychuk casts a sly glance towards the direction of Kretz before also checking. Pateychuk shows [Ks] [Kd] and Kretz mucks his hand! This hand has moved Pateychuk into the chip lead and relegated Kretz to the bottom of the pile.

Pateychuk – 6,060,000
Kretz – 2,590,000
