Nut Straight for Ferrari
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Ermanno Di Nicola opened under the gun with Q♥9♥, and received a call from Manuel Ferrari in middle position with A♥K♠.
On the J♥6♦5♥ flop, Di Nicola continued with a bet of 350,000, and Ferrari called.
The 10♠ hit on the turn, and Di Nicola barreled once more with his monster draws, firing out a bet of 1,250,000, which failed to shake off Ferrari, holding the gutshot and two overcards.
The Q♣ river completed the board, giving Ferrari the nut straight, and Di Nicola top pair.
Di Nicola decided to check having picked up some showdown value, and he could not find a fold in the face of a bet of 1,875,000 from Ferrari on the river.
