Kaukua Rivers a Straight to Double
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Joao Tomas opened from under the gun. Toni Kaukua, to his left, three-bet to 69,000. Tomas then raised all in, and Kaukua eventually made the call with his last 360,000.
Toni Kaukua: A♦K♦
Joao Tomas: Q♦Q♣
Tomas flopped a set, but Kaukua still had top pair and a straight draw on A♣Q♥J♦. The 8♣ turn didn't change anything, but the 10♠ river completed Kailua's straight, allowing him to double up.
