Massesson Rivers a Straight to Eliminate Kanit
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Oskar Massesson opened to 5,000 from the hijack but saw Mustapha Kanit in the cutoff three-bet to 14,000. The button and the blinds folded and Massesson called.
Both players checked a flop of 6♣K♦5♥ leading to the 10♦ turn. Massesson bet 26,000 and was called.
The river card was the A♠ and after Massesson checked, Kanit bet 60,000. Massesson raised all-in for 270,000 and Kanit went into the tank.
He eventually made the call with his last 39,000 and A♥10♣ for two pair but ran into Massesson's straight with Q♣J♣.
Kanit quickly re-entered and sat at one of the feature tables.
