Sahli Wins With Better Boat
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Stanislav Smeljov raised to 1,200 under the gun. Yanis Sahli bumped it up to 3,600 in middle position, which Vegard Granli cold-called on the button. Smeljov wanted no part and folded, after which the 5♠J♥8♥ flop was fanned.
Sahli continued for 2,500, seeing Granli call. Both players then checked the J♣ turn and J♦ river. Sahli tabled 9♦8♦ for jacks full of eights, besting the 7♥7♦ of Granli.
