The Perfect Turn for Stavrakis

OllieGarland

Nível 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The player in the small blind raised to 5,000. Filippos Stavrakis three-bet to 15,000 and the small blind called.

The board came 8♠J♠Q♣. Undeterred, the small blind chose to lead for 20,000 into Stavrakis, the preflop aggressor. Stavrakis called and both players went to a turn.

The K♥ landed and the small blind moved all in. Stavrakis snap called tabling his cards as he did so. He showed A♦10♦ for the turned nut straight. The small blind forced to show tabled A♠4♦ with only hopes of a chop - no help for the small blind on the river and Stavrakis doubles up.

Tboss

Nível 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

James Rivers raised before George Coleman jammed his remaining 42,000 in the middle on the button. The action quickly folded back to Rivers, who tossed in a call.

George Coleman: A♣A♠
James Rivers: J♣J♠

The flop of 10♣9♥8♣ was a sweat for Coleman as Rivers had picked up an open-ended straight draw. The 3♥ turn and 8♠ river were safe for Coleman though as his aces held for the double-up.
