Trumulis vs. Straub
Trumulis vs. Straub

Have you ever won a hand with four-high in a cash game and wanted to show it? That happened just a few minutes ago on the televised €1/€2 no-limit hold'em table.

The action began with Canada's Christopher Straub raising preflop to €6 with {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Latvia's Trumulis calling from the big blind with {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Trumulis checked on the {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop before calling his opponent's bet of €9.

The {5-Clubs} on the turn completed a straight for Trumulis and gave both players a flush draw. Straub bet €25 after the action was checked to him before he called a raise to €57 from Trumulis.

The {7-Diamonds} completed the board. Trumulis checked and found himself in a tough spot after Straub jammed for €130. Although Trumulis held a straight, he popped off the stream after the hand to share he was thinking about whether his opponent held a ten. After a few minutes, Trumulis tank-folded before Straub showed his four-high and began stacking his chips.
