Sizable Pot for Staudacher
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Regis Levy opened to 2,400 from under the gun. Action folded around to Dinesh Alt who called and Maxim Staudacher completed in the big blind.
Staudacher checked the 7♠3♠6♦ flop to Levy, who fired a bet of 2,100. Alt put in a raise to 7,000. Staudacher took a moment before announcing all in. Levy quickly folded. Alt tanked for a moment before putting in calling chips.
Staudacher tabled 4♥5♣ for a flopped straight and Alt showed 8♦8♣ leaving him drawing almost dead.
Dinesh Alt: 8♦8♣
Maxim Staudacher: 4♥5♣
The turn 4♣ offered a glimmer of hope to Alt who could make a better straight with a five, but the river 9♠ sent Alt to the rail and left Staudacher with a sizeable pot.
