Shevlyakov Doubles With Runner-Runner Straight
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Aleksandr Shevlyakov was sitting under the gun when he went all in for his last 175,000. Action folded to Renji Mao on the button, and he made the call. Nobody else wanted to join the party, and it came down to a showdown.
Aleksandr Shevlyakov: K♣2♣
Renji Mao: Q♦Q♠
The flop was looking promising for Shevlyakov as it gave him a straight draw with 4♥3♦A♠. The 7♠ turn didn't do anything, but the 5♣ river gave him the straight and the much-needed double-up.
