Smajd Smacks a Straight to Chip Up
Level 21
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Raoul Kanme raised to 250,000 from early position, with only Anze Smajd calling from the button.
After seeing the K♣J♦10♦ flop, Kanme checked, and Smajd checked as well to see the 8♥ appear on the turn. Kanme put out a delayed continuation-bet of 450,000, which Smajd called.
The 9♠ dropped on the river, and Kanme put out the same bet of 450,000. Smajd quickly called, and Kanme revealed a flopped two pair with K♦J♠. However, he was second best to the rivered king-high straight of Smajd with K♥Q♦.
