Straight over Straight for Rendering
Level 17
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
A pot of at least 500,000 had developed on a completed board of K♦Q♠J♥J♣6♥ - in a hand between Jared Louali on the button and Martijn Rendering in the big blind.
Rendering jammed for 375,000, and Louali, who just covered him, went into the tank.
After about two minutes Louali made the call, and said "Wow" when he saw Rendering held A♦10♥ for the flopped nut straight, while Louali had 10♣9♣ for the flopped lower straight.
