Shimizu Saved by Straight on River
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Andras Nemeth opened from under the gun to 4,000. Nozomu Shimizu shoved all in from the cutoff with less than 10 big blinds and Nemeth made the call, saying he wanted to gamble.
Nozomu Shimizu: K♣Q♦
Andreas Nemeth: 3♠3♥
The flop came A♦5♠J♥, keeping Shimizu behind but giving him a straight draw.
A 7♦ turn changed nothing in the hand.
However, Shimizu hit a 10♠ on the river to complete his straight and get a much-needed double up.
