Kilian Loffler
Hand #26: Kilian Loffler has joined Jing Gu Huang in eight-digit territory after another double up sent his stack soaring to put him within striking distance of the chip leader.
Loffler opened from hijack only to face a shove from Matas Kacinskas in the big blind. Loffler snap-called and flipped over his premium hand.
Kilian Loffler: A ♠️ K ♠️
Matas Kacinskas: Q ♦️ 8 ♦️
Loffler was ahead but still had to fade Kacinskas' live cards. The flop kept him in front, although Kacinskas picked up a gutshot straight draw.
The turn A ♥️ was just what Loffler wanted, pairing his ace and reducing Kacinskas to four outs. The river 3 ♦️ offered no help, sending Loffler rocketing up the counts into second rank. On the flip side, Kacinskas dropped to 7 bb.
