Cunha Rivers a Straight to Take Down Sorainen's Flopped Set
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Gabriel Cunha opened from the hijack to 25,000 and Mateusz Wozniak three-bet to 70,000 in the cutoff. Luka Sorainen then four-bet from the small blind to 170,000. Cunha wasn't done yet and made a five-bet to 280,000, which got Wozniak to fold, but Sorainen called.
On the 9♠J♥6♥ flop, both players checked to see the 8♥ hit the turn. Sorainen bet 215,000, and Cunha called.
A 10♠ on the river made the board a little scary and Sorainen checked, then Cunha shoved for 354,000. Sorainen gave it some thought but eventually elected to call.
Cunha tabled Q♠Q♦ for a rivered straight, and Sorainen flashed J♣J♦ for top set.
