Stroke Gives Agalliu a Lesson on How to Win Tournaments
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Three players went to the turn on a board of K♣3♠Q♠8♥ with around 120,000 in the middle when Adriatik Agalliu bet 75,000 from the big blind.
Shawn Stroke called on the button, while Iman Ghashayar folded in the small blind. The river came the 9♥ and Agalliu checked over to Stroke.
Stroke then tossed in a handful of the new white 100,000 chips, enough to put Agalliu all in, and Agalliu quickly called for his last 125,000. Stroke then turned over J♥10♠ for the rivered straight and Agalliu slammed his cards down on the table before making his exit.
"Nice river. That's how you win tournaments," Stroke said as he stacked up the pot.
