Balaev Rivers a Straight and Gets Paid
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
With around 400,000 in the middle on a Q♥9♥7♦4♣5♦ board, Viacheslav Balaev had bet a huge amount of 570,000 from the big blind into Has Has, who was in the cutoff.
Several minutes went by and eventually Has Has called, only to see the bad news as Balaev had rivered a straight with 8♦6♠.
