Straight for Both Blinds
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In a limped pot to the 8♥10♣J♥ flop, Mykhailo Ostash checked from the small blind before calling big blind Aliaksei Boika's bet of 80,000.
Ostash led out for 175,000 when the Q♥ fell on the turn, receiving a call from his neighbor.
Ostash sized up to 520,000 on the 4♦ river. Boika took a good look at the board, as well as his opponent, before he decided to toss in a call.
Ostash quickly tabled a straight to the king with K♣9♦. Boika also had a straight with 9♥4♠, but his was only to the queen, and thus he returned it to the muck.
