Poker Gods Had Their Fun in This Runout
Level 13: 1,000 / 2,500 ante: 2,500

Rundulf Gonzales opened from early-position and got a call in middle-position before Matthew Wakeman three-bet in-position to 22,000. The action did not stop here, as Leon Sturm came in hot out of the big-blind and moved all-in for 113,000. The original opener quickly moved all-in himself. Wakeman had to throw his hand into the much and Sturm's tournament dreams were on the line.
Leon Sturm: T♠ T♣
Rundulf Gonzales: K♦ K♠
The A♥ 9♠ 6♥ flop came out safe for Gonzales, but the T♦ came out of nowhere on the turn, giving Sturm trips. However, the K♥ river did the same to Gonzales, busting Sturm before the money. What a roller coaster ride of emotions this runout had been.
