Karl Rupprec pair 9 and Ondrej Drozd 2, 5.
The flop was 2, Q, 9, so Karl Rupprec got three of a kind, and Ondrej Drozd got pair 2. Rupprec pretended to have weak cards and tricked Drozd.
The Turn was 2, and Ondrej Drozd got three of kind.
The River was hearts 8, and Ondrej Drozd's three of a kind of 2, was lower than the three 9 of Karl Rupprec, and lost all his chips
During the duel, Karl Rupprec was always lagging behind Ondrej Drozd, having at one point only one-third of his opponent's chips; however, step by step, he reduced the distances. In the final hand, he executed his opponent with a perfect counterattack in the form of three 9. Texas Hold'em at its finest!
