Straight vs Super Straight
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ryan Riess raised to 8,000 in middle position and was called by Sam Laskowitz on his left. Jonathan Wang three-bet to 21,000 on the button and only Laskowitz called.
The flop fell J♣9♦5♦ and both players checked to the 10♠ on the turn. Laskowitz led out with a bet of 30,000 and Wang called to see the Q♦ on the river.
Laskowitz checked this time and Wang announced all in. Laskowitz was put to the test for his remaining 50,000 chips and he went into the tank for well over a minute. Finally, he made the call and Wang turned over A♠K♠ for an ace-high straight while Laskowitz held K♣Q♥ for just a king-high straight.
