Speaking to the PPT blog earlier this afternoon, Rene Knapp promised he would be going for the win once the bubble burst - and that pledge looked in good shape as he took down an enormous pot.
Getting involved with in a hand with fellow German Hans Mustafa Krsebom may not have been the plan, but when he three-bet pre-flop with A♥A♣, he could hardly have wished for a better flop.
The deck brought A♠9♥8♠ and after Rene c-bet, his friend turned foe check-raised with an open-ended straight draw and a 300,000 pot quickly materialised.
"I'll have to buy the drinks if I win it, because I didn't want to play against my friend ideally," he explained.
"It was an easy call when he went all-in, and there was no luck for him hitting his straight.
"I still don't care if I come top three, even eighth or ninth is fine but I have to keep playing for the win. I'll keep up the aggression with plenty of three-bets and hopefully it will carry me to the final table."
