Kerper Hits The River to Rise Towards the Top

The action folds to Jeppe Mikkelsen in the hijack seat who raises to 5,100, Jens Kerper calls in the cutoff before Niclas Martinsson squeezes for 14,500 on the button. Mikkelsen folds but Kerper makes the call.

The two players check their option on a flop of [7h] [4c] [2s] and before you know it they are both staring at the [3d] on fourth street. Kerper decides it’s a good time to bet and makes it 12,700, Martinsson calls. The final card is the [Ad] and Kerper very sharply, check-calls a 23,700 Martinsson bet.

Showdown

Kerper: [Ac] [Qh]
Martinsson: [Jh] [Jc]

Kerper gets there on the river much to the chagrin of Martinsson.

Kerper ~ 390,000
Martinsson ~ 120,000
