Usmanov Doubles With a Straight
Level 4
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Quentin Reaubourg min-raised from the button with Salim Usmanov calling from the small blind, and Nils Pudel defending his big blind.
Both the blinds checked the A♥10♣K♦ flop, and Reaubourg fired out a bet of 15,000. Usmanov called, but Pudel folded.
Usmanov knuckled the table again on the J♥ turn, prompting Reaubourg to put out a second bet of 30,000. Usmanov called.
The A♠ river got a final check from Usmanov. Reaubourg looked at Usamov's remaining 170,000, and then bet enough to put him all in. Usmanov paused briefly before making the call.
Reaubourg showed J♠8♦ for just a pair of jacks. Usmanov had that beat with Q♦J♦ for a straight, and he doubled up,
