Davenport Turns the Straight and Sends East to the Rail
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Damarjai Davenport opened the action with a raise to 70,000 on the button, but Jareth East wasn’t backing down. He bumped it up to 200,000 from the big blind, and after some thought, Davenport made the call.
The flop came 2♥A♦K♣, and East continued for just 50,000. Davenport double-checked his cards before flicking in a call.
Then came the 3♦ on the turn, and everything escalated quickly. East moved all in, and Davenport snap-called.
Jareth East: A♣J♣
Damarjai Davenport: 5♠4♠
Davenport had turned the straight and left East drawing slim. The Q♣ on the river changed nothing, and East hit the rail as Davenport scooped a big one.
