Heads-up clash at a $200/$400 No-Limit Hold'em table produces biggest reward for September thus far


According to the poker information site High Stakes Poker Database, a Swede named Ingrid boosted (her?) bank balance by a very useful $330 000 this week on the Microgaming Poker Network.

Nicknamed "Ingrid_Swede" and playing heads up in mid-September in a $200/$400 No-Limit Hold'em final confrontation with competing finalist "I_Knockout_U," the player took down the largest pot of the month so far, collecting a paycheck of $330 000 in a single hand.

HSPD reports that the heads-up battle was competitive and tense, and a number of significant pots had already been played, when Ingrid_Swede raised to $1 400 from the button. I_Knockout_U re-raised to $4 400 and Ingrid_Swede called.

On the 6d-7d-8c flop, I_Knockout_U bet out $8 200. Ingrid_Swede raised to $28 000, and I_Knockout_U responded by moving all-in for a total of $160 967. Ingrid_Swede called immediately.

Qs-3s finished out the board, ushering in the showdown. I_Knockout_U showed 9h-8h for a pair of nines and a busted straight-draw. Ingrid_Swede had, however, flopped the nuts holding Tc-9c, and took home the $330 732.64 pot.

In addition to being the biggest pot so far for September, the win is the fifth biggest on the High Stakes Poker Database.
