Shorr Correctly Folds a Straight
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Samuel Laskowitz raised to 200,000 from the button with J♣7♣ and Shannon Shorr called from the big blind with 8♦7♦.
The flop was 8♣6♦5♣ and Shorr made top pair with a straight draw, while Laskowitz had the straight and flush draws.
Shorr checked the flop and called when Laskowitz bet 130,000.
The turn was A♥ and both players checked to see 9♣ on the river. Shorr bet 230,000 with his made straight, but Laskowitz raised to 900,000 with the flush.
Shorr spent a time bank before he found the fold and gave Laskowitz the pot.
