Always a Sweat
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
With 18,500 already in the pot, the flop came out 9♣7♣6♣ and Toko Luu bet 10,000 into his heads-up opponent, Joshua Baker.
Baker then wasted no time and moved all in for around 80,000. After getting a count from the dealer, Luu thought about it for a few more seconds before he set out a stack of chips to make the call.
Joshua Baker: 9♠9♥
Toko Luu: 10♣10♠
Baker had a huge lead with his top set of nines, but the turn J♣ gave Luu a gutshot straight draw AND a flush draw. Luckily for Baker, the river was the brick K♦ and he secured the huge pot for a big double-up.
"Phew! Had to make me sweat on the turn too!" Baker sighed with relief as he stacked his new chips.
