Bako Doubles Without Realizing It
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Mazalahedwa Bako open-jammed for 83,500 from early position. Yuzhou Yin looked him up in the next seat over, and the duo showed down once the rest of the table had folded their hands.
Mazalahedwa Bako: A♥5♥ 
Yuzhou Yin: A♣Q♥
Bako flopped chop outs on 8♥7♦7♠, and the 6♥ gave him both a flush draw and an open-ender for even more equity.
His straight completed on the 9♣ river, but Bako stood up and got ready to leave the table. Only once the table told him he had made a straight, he sat back down to rake in his double-up, overtaking Yin in the counts.
