Joyce Left Short as Angelou Soars
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Nikolaos Angelou raised to 300,000 under the gun. It folded to Philip Joyce in the big blind, who called to the A♥7♣10♣ flop. Angelou continued for 225,000, which Joyce check-called.
Angelou sized up to 750,000 on the K♣ turn, but Joyce stuck around, check-calling undetered. When the 10♥ hit the river, Angelou put in 1,800,000 chips.
This bet sent Joyce into the tank. After a few minutes, he slammed in a call. Angelou quickly flipped up Q♥J♣ for a straight.
Joyce made sure he had read the hand correctly before mucking his cards and being left with around 15 big blinds, seeing his opponent cross the eight-figure mark.
