Yildiz's Straight Flush Sinks Karpova's Boat
Level 2
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
There has already been one straight flush today and there was just another!
On a board of 10♣7♠4♠5♠ there were around 100,000 chips in the pot when both the blinds checked to Natalia Karpova in the cutoff, who fired 50,000. Mustafa Yildiz called on the button, and both the blinds folded.
The river brought a 4♣ and Karpova fired again, this time for 85,000. Yildiz pondered for some time before he moved all of his chips into the middle for a raise of 215,000. Karpova didn't like the situation she was in and leaned back in her chair while she thought it over, but eventually she made the call.
Yildiz then revealed a straight flush with 8♠6♠, and Karpova showed 7♣7♥ for a rivered full house.
Brutal!
