Tangri Picks One Off With a Straight
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player in the big blind bet 15,000 on a board of 6♥8♦9♣5♥ and Rishi Tangri raised to 45,000 in early position. His opponent then moved all in for 95,000, and Tangri snap-called.
The big blind showed A♣7♥ for a straight, but Tangri had a higher straight with 10♣7♠. The river was the 8♣ and Tangri took down the pot to send his opponent to the rail.
