Fireworks on the River

Level 7 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action went heads-up to a flop of 4J7 in a hand between Johannes Straver in the cutoff and Alexandros Theologis in the big blind.

With 120,000 in the pot, Theologis checked with Q7 and Straver bet 90,000 with KJ.

Theologis called and the turn landed the 8, giving him additional equity with a flush draw. Both players checked and the river fell the 4.

Theologis checked, Straver bet 200,000, and Theologis raised to 400,000. Straver then reraised to 1,140,000, prompting Theologis to surrender his hand.
