Straight over Straight for Gonzalez to Double
Level 24
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Andras Halasi opened to 50,000 from under the gun, and was faced with a three-bet jam from Inaki Gonzales in the small blind to 270,000. Halasi made the quick call.
Inaki Gonzales: A♥Q♠
Andras Halasi: 7♠7♥
It was off to the races, and Halasi remained ahead after the J♣9♦8♥ flop, although Gonzales picked up a gutshot, which covered Halasi's draw.
The J♥ turn paired the board and brought counterfeit possibilities for Halasi.
The 10♥ hit on the river to give both players a one-card straight, but Gonzales had the best end of it.
