Mammen Shows the Straight
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Action was picked up on the turn of an inflated pot, with 15,700 in the middle.
The board read 10♥J♠7♣8♠ and early position Joshua Mammen bet out for 4,000, and was called by hijack Thomas Pinaud.
The river A♣ peeled off, and Mammen sized up to 11,000, sending Pinaud into a deep tank. After some time, Mammen started counting on his fingers, "seven, eight, nine, ten, jack."
Pinaud folded, and Mammen tabled the 9♣ followed by the Q♣ for a queen-high straight.
