Ninh Rivers Straight
Level 40
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Hiep Ninh limped in from the button with K♠8♦ and Tero Laurila checked his Q♣J♥ in the big blind. The J♣10♥9♠ flop then went check-check before Laurila made a 1,500,000-chip bet on the 10♣ turn.
Ninh called for the Q♠ river to hit the table. Laurila bet 2,500,000 chips, which Ninh raised to 7,200,000 after thinking for a while. Laurila tossed in a call after taking a little time himself, and Ninh showed his straight to widen the gap between the two players.
