No Trust in The Straight
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Niclas Thumm and Boris Angelov were in the blinds, with Thumm calling with 8♠8♥ and Angelov checking with 10♣9♥.
Both players checked through the flop of 10♠5♥J♠.
On the turn, the K♥ appeared, prompting Thumm to bet 125,000, which Angelov called.
Thumm took the lead again on the river with Q♥ and bet 230,000. Despite three hearts on the board and the possibility of a better straight with an ace, Angelov just called and claimed the pot of 950,000 with his pair of tens.
