Tomes Has the Higher Straight
Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Grzegorz Gorski came in with a raise to 3,000 from under the gun with Marek Tomes calling from the cutoff and Jan Krnac defending his big blind.
The three players checked the 9♣8♣6♦ flop to see the 10♠ roll off on the turn. Krnac bet 3,000, which only Tomes called.
A 7♦ landed on the river, making a straight on the board. Krnac checked and then faced a bet of 7,000 from Tomes. Krnac chuckled, shook his head, and then made the call.
Tomes showed A♠J♦ for a jack-high straight to take down the pot.
