Phung Doubles With a Straight

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Dawid Kuliberda bet 20,000 on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{a-Spades} and was called by Helmut Phung in the big blind.

The turn came the {6-Spades} and Phung checked over to Kuliberda, who bet another 110,000. Phung tanked for about a minute before he shoved all in for 371,000. Kuliberda gave the decision some thought before he called.

Kuliberda showed {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for two pair, but Phung had made a straight with {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}. The river came the {5-Clubs} and Phung doubled up.
