Ventura and James Battle on Draw Heavy Board
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Diego Ventura limped in from the small blind and Jason James checked the option.
Ventura checked over to James on the 10♥9♥J♠ flop and James bet out 400,000, with Ventura making the call.
The 5♥ fell on the turn, completing the front-door flush draw and prompting a check from both players.
A four card stragiht was completed on the Q♠ river, and Ventura led out for 1,200,000, which was met with a raise from James to 3,000,000. This sent Ventura into the tank.
After some deliberation, Ventura made the fold and with James taking that pot, the chip stacks have come a bit closer to flattening out.
