Heritsch Doubles Up with Rivered Straight
Michael Heritsch kicked things off with an under-the-gun raise to 5,000, which Jeremy Ausmus called in middle position. With the action then on Danny Hannawa, he made it 23,000, and both players called.
On the 10♥6♣7♣ flop, Heritsch continued for Pot 74,000, prompting a raise pot from Ausmus, which meant the all-in for Heritsch and Hannawa. Hannawa quickly got out of the way, and Heritsch called, leading to a showdown.
Michael Heritsch: J♠10♠9♠7♥
Jeremy Ausmus: K♣Q♥Q♠8♣
Heritsch flopped two pair and had a few backdoor options to improve his hand even more, whilst Ausmus had an overpair and a flush draw.
The 9♦ on the turn gave Ausmus also outs for a possible straight, but the 8♠ on the river completed the straight for Heritsch, and he doubled up.
