Weisner Gets Paid with a Straight
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Picking up on the action on a completed board of 9♣6♥3♠7♥A♣, Zhiyuan Xu and Melanie Weisner were heads-up in a pot with around 10,000 in the middle. Xu checked from under the gun and Weisner tossed in a bet of 6,000 from the cutoff which Xu paid off.
Weisner turned over 10♣8♣ for a straight and Xu was forced to send his cards into the muck.
"The ace saved you?" Weisner questioned after the hand and Xu agreed that he was not a fan of the river card.
