James Backdoors a Straight
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Bobby James just took down a chunky pot to grow his stack to around 150,000.
James recalled the action where he raised under the gun and got four callers, including Davor Mudric in the cutoff.
All five checked the 9♠A♦9♣ flop to the Q♦ turn, where James bet 2,500. Only Mudric called and the J♠ fell on the river.
After thinking it over, James bet a hefty 21,000, and Mudric didn't take too long before he called.
James then revealed he backdoored a straight with 10♥8♥, and Mudric flashed AxQx before sending the chips over.
