Stroke Leads for the Double-Up
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
On a board of 8♣J♦7♥5♥, the three-way action was checked to Maduka Meragal in the cutoff. He made a bet of 6,000 chips into the pot of 18,000 and Jacopo Achille folded from the small blind. Big blind Shawn Stroke, came along, however, and the 4♣ river emerged from the deck.
Stroke then put his final 4,700 chips in the middle and Meragal snap called. Stroke showed his Q♣6♣ for a straight, and Meragal shook his head before mucking his cards.
