SM Flops Straight; Takes a Bunch Off Ng
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Chip leader SM opened to 120,000 with the 5♥4♠ and David Ng just called with the A♣10♦ in the small blind, Danny Dayani called the Q♥3♥ in the big blind. The 7♠6♣3♠ flop gave SM the straight and it checked to Dayani, who bet 175,000 with his bottom pair.
SM just called and Ng then raised to 400,000 with ace-high. Dayani let go and SM flat-called with the current nuts.
The K♠ turn brought a possible flush out there and Ng checked. SM applied maximum pressure and moved all-in to earn a snap-fold.
