Arduini Rivers a Straight
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 200,000 from the button with 10♠6♠ and Lorenzo Arduini defended the big blind with Q♠J♥.
Both players missed the A♦K♥3♣ flop but Arduini had outs to Broadway, and he check-called for 115,000 before the A♥ turn checked through to the 10♣ river.
Arduini bet 175,000 with his straight and Ponakovs paid him off after using up a time bank.
