Blockers Not Enough
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jianqiang Yu limped in from under the gun. Shrey Maheshwary and Jose Nadal did the same from the cutoff and button, respectively. Andrew Ostapchenko checked his option.
Four players saw a flop of 5♠9♥J♥ which checked over to Jose Nadal. He opted to bet out for 75,000, and only Ostapchenko got rid of his cards. The 3♣ turn checked through, bringing in the K♦ river. Yu checked, Maheshwary bet out for 200,000, and Nadal folded. Yu clearly had a tough decision, but he eventually landed on a call.
Maheshwary showed Q♠10♣5♣3♠ for the nut straight, and Yu showed QxQx for two blockers to said straight.
