Straight over Straight for Spoddig
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Around 60,000 was in the middle, on a completed board of 10♥8♣5♦6♦7♥, in a hand between Georgios Zisimopoulos in middle position, Carlos Spoddig on the button, and Luigi Pignataro in the small blind.
Action was checked to Zisimopoulos , who fired out a bet of 24,000. Spoddig jammed for 108,000, and Pignataro called, which convinced Zisimopoulos to fold.
Pignataro confidently tabled 9♥8♥ for the ten-high straight, but Spoddig had him pipped with J♠9♠ for the jack-high straight.
