Makela Gets There on the River
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Cards were on their backs for an all-in preflop confrontation that saw Daniela Makela's last 17,900 chips in the middle and in big trouble.
Daniela Makela: J♦J♥
Opponent: K♣K♥
The flop came 10♥8♣8♠ bringing nothing but an added backdoor straight draw for Makela.
That backdoor opened wider with the 9♦ on the turn, and Makalea called for a straight on the river.
Her wish was granted as the Q♠ fell on the river, giving her her straight to score a big double-up to get her back over starting stack.
