Sendarrubias Hits Straight on the River
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Andres Sendarrubias opened to 18,000 from the small blind, then was called by Espen Nikolaisen who defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦10♣Q♥, and Sendarrubias moved directly all in for 39,000. Nikolaisen quickly called with a bigger stack.
Andres Sendarrubias: K♣9♥
Espen Nikolaisen: Q♦7♦
Nikolaisen's top pair held on the turn 8♦, but Sendarrubias was lucky enough to find a straight on the river J♣ to double up.
