Martins Slowplays a Straight
Level 10
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Victor Castanedo opened to 2,500 first-to-act and was called by Petr Novotny on the button and Rui Querido Martins in the small blind.
All three players checked on the 9♦3♣6♠ flop and Martins checked to Castanedo on the 2♠ turn, who fired 10,000 into the middle. Only Martins called.
The 8♥ completed the board and both players checked. Martins turned over 5♥4♥ for a turned straight and Castanedo mucked, awarding the pot to Martins.
