Straight Over Straight for Chalupka and Fechter
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Pavel Chalupka raised out of the hijack to 100,000 and Trent Fechter defended out of the big blind.
The flop came 9♦7♣A♠. Fechter check-raised a continuation of 100,000 from Chalupka to 350,000. Chalupka called.
The 10♥ on the turn saw Fechter commit an additional 300,000 chips into the middle. Chalupka made the call for what was most of his stack.
On the 8♦ river Fechter bet enough to put his opponent all in and Chalupka called.
Pavel Chalupka: A♥J♣
Trent Fechter: 8♥6♣
Fechter's ten-high straight lost to the jack-high straight of Chalupka.
