Sterba Snaps Off Nahum With the Nuts
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jakub Sterba bet 60,000 from the cutoff on a flop of J♥9♣8♦ and Lyudmil Ivanov called on the button. Gabriel Nahum then raised to 200,000 in the big blind, and only Sterba called.
Nahum moved all in on the 2♣ turn, and Sterba snap-called for 490,000. Nahum showed A♠J♦ for top pair, but Sterba had flopped the nut straight with Q♠10♥ to leave Nahum drawing dead. The river was the A♥ and Sterba doubled up.
