Straight Over Straight Benefits Ostash
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Mykhailo Ostash fancied a limp on the button, and Tomasz Brzezinski obliged by checking in the big blind.
The 4♣10♥5♥ flop was quickly checked by both. Ostash bet the minimum of 250,000 on the 7♦ turn, being check-called by Brzezinski.
Brzezinski led out for 1,100,000 on the 6♦ river. Ostash raised to 2,500,000, however.
Brzezinski went deep into thought before he found a call, but his K♥3♥ for the bottom straight was bested by the A♠8♠ of Ostash, who had the higher five cards in a row.
