Joel Deutsch

James Kerr opened to 65,000 from under the gun and Joel Deutsch three-bet to 170,000 from the button. The blinds folded, Kerr confirmed how much Deutsch had behind, and moved all in.

Deutsch snapped in a call at risk for 710,000.

Deutsch: KsKd
Kerr: AdJc

“Why did you have to have an ace?” Deutsch asked at a table that’s been hitting a lot of single over cards.

But this time was different when Deutsch made a set on the Kh7c3c flop and held after the 8h turn and 7h river.

Joel Deutsch – 1,495,000 (50 bb)
James Kerr – 1,300,000 (43 bb)
