Abes Extracts Value With a Staight
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Greg Abes opened to 3,200 from the middle position and found calls from the button and the small blind.
The three players saw the dealer fan out a connected flop of 8♥9♣10♦. After the small blind checked, Abes put out a continuation bet of 3,500 which was only called by the button.
Abes continued the aggression on the J♦ turn by firing out 11,000. The button called again and they headed to the river.
When the board-pairing 10♣ came on the river, Abes fired the third and final bullet of 15,000. After some thinking the button made the call. Abes flipped over A♥Q♥ for a straight to take down a substantial pot and move over the 100,000 chip mark.
