Loeliger Left with Crumbs

Oliver Busquet opens to 4,300 with  on blinds of 1,000/2,000 and Linus Loeliger defends his big blind, holding . A clean-looking  flop lands on the board, giving Busquet a straight with a backup flush draw. Loeliger check-calls a bet of 4,300 and the  lands.

Loeliger takes over, betting 4,400 and a call from Busquet brought forth the  river. Loeliger puts in a pot-sized bet of 26,000 and Busquet shoves for a total of 85,173. Loeliger calls with his newly acquired queen but it is not enough when Busquet flips over his straight, leaving Loeliger with less than two big blinds.

Linus Loeliger – 3,700
Olivier Busquet – 196,300
