Michas Flops a Straight and Finds a Perfect River to Double
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Alexandros Michas opened from under the gun to 80,000 and Anton Suarez called on the button. Thales Morelli also called from the big blind.
After the flop of 10♣9♦K♠ hit the table, the action checked to Suarez, who bet 95,000. Morelli folded and Michas called to the A♣ turn, where both players checked .
A 4♥ landed on the river and Michas bet 480,000 of his 585,000 stack. Suarez wanted it all so he shoved, and Michas called it off.
Suarez confidently flipped a set with 4♠4♦, but that was no good as Michas flopped a straight and turned a bigger one with Q♣J♠.
