State Catches Selvakumaran Speeding Early
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
On the first deal of the day, Mahersh Selvakumaran opened to 11,000 in the cutoff. Adrian State flat-called on the button, and bet 10,000 when Selvakumaran checked the 6♦8♥9♥ flop.
Selvakumaran called to the A♦ turn, which both players checked. Selvakumaran kept checking when the 7♠ hit the river. State announced a bet of 40,000, which Selvakumaran raised to 140,000.
State stared at his opponent for a bit before he flicked in a calling chip. Selvakumaran could only show queen-high with his Q♣J♣, leaving State to take the pot with K♠10♦ for the rivered straight.
