"We Are Straddling Here"
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
"PokerNews, we are straddling here!" said Chris Da-Silva while walking by his table.
When he said that, it was his turn to straddle, so he bet blind 400 from under the gun. A player in middle position three-bet to 1,200, and everybody folded to Da-Silva, who called.
On the flop 2♠2♥Q♣, the middle position player bet 1,000, and Da-Silva check-called. Then on the turn 7♦, both players checked.
The river 5♠ was checked again by Da-Silva. However, the player in middle position seemed unsure of his decision. He finally checked back and showed K♠K♣. Surprised, Da-Silva folded while laughing.
