Komatz' Blind Hand Flops a Straight
Level 18
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Michael Komatz was forced all-in from the big blind. Tom Talboom opened to 200,000 from under the gun, which folded out the table.
Michael Komatz: 6♣4♦
Tom Talboom: Q♥J♣
Komatz asked the dealer for a 7-5-3 flop; instead, he was rewarded with something slightly better. The dealer put out the 8♥7♠5♥ flop, giving Komatz an eight-high straight. The 6♦ ensured him at least half the pot as Talboom could only chop. The 2♣ river sealed Komatz the checkmark, and he doubled up.
