Mayer Flops a Straight to Double
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Hassan Nashar raised to 10,000 under the gun with Stanislau Charvinski calling from the cutoff and Thomas Alfred Mayer calling out of the small blind.
The action checked to Charvinski on the K♠Q♥J♣ flop, and he fired out for 25,000. Mayer check-jammed for 44,500, which got Nashar to fold. Charvinski called to try and bust Mayer.
Thomas Alfred Mayer: 10♠9♠ 
Stanislau Charvinski: K♣9♣
Mayer was far ahead with a flopped straight against the top pair and gutshot of Charvinski.
The rest of the board ran out clean for Mayer as it fell 4♠J♥, and he earned the much-needed double-up.
