Raina Gets There for the Double
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
With 38,000 in the middle, the action checked to Gaurav Raina and he bet 15,000. There was one call before the big blind check-raised to 98,000. Raina went into the tank for a couple of minutes before deciding to jam his 131,000 into the middle. The third player quickly got out of the way and the big blind made the call.
Gaurav Raina: K♠Q♠Q♦2♠
Big Blind: 10♥10♣6♥4♥
The big blind flopped a set of tens, but it was still a fair fight as Raina had an over pair, flush draw, and straight draw.
The 9♣ turn completed Raina's straight draw and he was able to fade the paired board as the Q♣ landed on the river.
