Ryan Short After Running Into Seven-Deuce
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Tero Laurila raised to 230,000 from the small blind and received a call from big blind Larry Ryan. Laurila then fired 250,000 on the A♣4♦5♥ flop and 275,000 on the 3♦ turn, both times getting called by Ryan.
On the 9♦ river, Laurilla put another 300,000 chips in the middle, leaving only 100,000 behind. Ryan mulled the situation over for a few minutes before tossing in a call.
"I think I get a reward," said Laurila, who tabled 7♥2♠ for a straight. He indeed got rewarded as the pot was shipped his way when Ryan mucked his cards and was left with a mere five big blinds.
