The Straddle Is On
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
On the outer edge of the tables in-play, Milan Stojkovic announced that the straddle was on and put a blind min-raise to 400 under the gun.
Action began and it folded to the button who opened to 1,200. The blinds both folded and Stojkovic defended his "straddle".
The A♦4♣10♣ landed on the flop and action quickly checked through. The turn brought a 7♠ and Stojkovic opted to lead for 1,700. The button called.
The river was the 8♥ and Stojkovic led again. This time he made it 2,000 and the button essentially snap called. Stojkovic tabled A♣3♠ and the button mucked.
It pays to put the "straddle" on.
