Fishman Spikes the River to Double
Level 34
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Toby Gafner opened to 4,000,000 from the cutoff before Baruch Fishman jammed for 7,500,000 from the big blind. Gafner confirmed the count and tossed out a call shortly after.
Baruch Fishman: Q♥10♣
Toby Gafner: A♣7♠
Fishman was behind but held live cards as the J♥6♥2♦ flop offered no immediate help to either player. The 9♥ turn gave Fishman an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw, and the 8♠ river completed his straight, and he retook his seat as he collected the double.
