Morita Shows the Nuts
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Shojiro Morita raised to 1,100 from under the gun, which led to a call from Arsenii Karmatckii on the button.
Morita bet 1,500 the flop fanned out 6♥K♣A♦. Karmatchkii responded with a raise to 4,200. Morita called to send them to a turn.
The J♥ turn led to a bet of 3,500 from Morita. Karmatchkii chose to play for it all and jammed for approximately 21,000.
"I have the nuts," Morita said as he called to put Karmatchkii at risk.
Arsenii Karmatckii: K♠6♠
Shojiro Morita: Q♠10♥
The turn was a welcome sight for Morita, who spiked the nut straight, but Karmatchkii did have some outs to a full house to stay alive.
The 2♠ river was not what Karmatchkii hoped for as he was eliminated from contention.
