Russell Doubles Up with a Straight
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Four-way on a flop of J♠9♠Q♣, Giovanni Di Donato in middle position bet. Jimmy Guerrero on the button folded, but Paul Russell in the small blind raised all-in for 8,300. The big blind folded and Di Donato snap-called.
Paul Russell: Q♥10♣
Giovanni Di Donato: Q♠Q♦
Russell ran into a set of queens but hit a straight with the 8♥ turn. The A♥ river changed nothing and Russell doubled up.
