Blockers Aren't Real
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Omar Taveras from the big blind and Boris Vaynberg from under the gun were heads-up to a completed board of A♥7♠2♥Q♥K♣ with about 50,000 in the middle.
Taveras led for 25,000 before Vaynberg put in a raise to 100,000. Tavaras would have around ten big blinds behind if he called incorrectly, but he stuck in the call after a minute's tank.
Boris Vaynberg: J♠J♣
Omar Taveras: J♦10♠
Vaynberg had just blockers to the straight, but Taveras rivered broadway and made the correct call on the end despite the flush also completing on the turn.
