Soika Sucks Out to Double
Level 11
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Julien Sitbon rasied from the cutoff, Ihar Soika three-bet jammed for 66,000 from the big blind and Sitbon called.
Ihar Soika: J♣10♣ 
Julien Sitbon: A♥J♦
Sitbon had Soika dominated but the 8♦9♣2♠ flop gave Soika an open-ended straight draw. The Q♠ turn improved Soika to a straight and the 8♥ river confirmed his double up.
