Buruil Saved on the River
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Juan Ferrer opened to 2,500 from the cutoff, and was called in the small blind by Jerome Buruil.
The 8♥9♦10♦ was checked by Buruil, before Ferrer bet out 3,000, which the Frenchman called.
Once again, Buruil made a check on the turn as the 2♦ landed. Ferrer bet out for 8,000 and was called instantly.
With a four-card straight on the board as the J♣ river hit, Buruil checked a third time. Ferrer checked back and was disappointed to see his opponent rivered the nut straight, holding K♦Q♥ having also had a flush draw on the turn.
