Straight for Spinks to Double
Level 4
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With around 19,000 in the middle on a board of J♥5♥3♥7♦, Garry Spinks overbet jammed for 31,200, and Serhii Ivanenko was in the tank under the gun.
After a bit of time undertaking some calculations, Ivanenko made the call.
Garry Spinks: 6♦4♦
Serhii Ivanenko: 9♦8♥
Spinks had turned the straight, and without a heart was looking for protection. Ivanenko had the up and down outs to the higher straight, as well as outs to the flush.
Much to Spinks' relief, the 3♣ river was a brick.
