Chouity Pushes Devkin Out
Level 23
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Christian Christner opened the cutoff with a raise to 40,000, and next door neighbor Nicolas Chouity made the call from the button. Igor Devkin in the big blind squeezed to 130,000, and Christner was quick to lay down his hand. Chouity however made the call.
Devkin checked his option, and called the 129,000 bet Chouity made.
Both players checked the 
on the turn, and the 
was for free.
With now four to a straight out there, Devkin checked again. Chouity slid 315,000 forward, which send Devkin into the tank.
For awhile he was playing around with 315,000 in his hand, but eventually he folded.
"Nice hand!" said Devkin. "Nines?" asked Buonanno. Chouity did not reply, and just stacked his castle of chips even higher.
