Ioannoy Turns a Straight
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Gareth Fourie opened to earn two callers and the action was picked up on the J♥8♥5♠6♦ turn with some 725,000 in the middle. Giovanni Zanette led for 125,000 in the small blind and Nic Ioannoy raised to 700,000 from the big blind with less than that behind.
Fourie reluctantly folded, and Zanette did so by also showing some frustration.
"Did you flop a straight?" Fourie asked and Ioannoy flashed the 9♦7♠ for the turned straight.
