Renke Hits a Straight to Double Up
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
With around 1,100,000 already in the pot and the board showing J♥K♠3♣10♠, Kajetan Renke led out with a bet of 425,000 from the big blind. David Keuftedjian was on the button and responded by announcing all-in. Renke quickly called, and both players revealed their hands.
Kajetan Renke: Q♣9♦
David Keuftedjian: 3♠3♦
Renke had turned a straight, while Keuftedjian had flopped a set of threes and needed to improve on the river to win.
However, the 7♦ river brought no help for Keuftedjian, and Renke secured a decent double-up.
