Michael Binks a Straight
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Angelos Michael just won a chunky pot right at the end of the night to give him a stack of around 300,000.
There were already around 15,000 chips in the pot on a 7♥9♦9♠ flop when Michael checked from the blinds and a player in the cutoff bet 10,000. Michael then made it 26,000, and the cutoff called.
A 2♥ dropped on the turn and Michael fired 30,000, which was again called by the cutoff to the 8♦ river. Michael then put together a bet of 99,500 and slid it across the line, sending the cutoff into the tank. After around a minute, he called.
Michael then showed a rivered straight with J♣10♥, and the cutoff mucked.
