Michaud Flops a Straight, Gets Max Value from Cekalins
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
There were already around 20,000 chips in the pot on a board of 8♦7♣9♥2♦ when Clement Michaud fired out 12,000 from the big blind, and Ritvars Cekalins called in the cutoff.
They both watched the 8♠ drop on the river where Michaud almost immediately moved in for 28,000. Cekalins sat motionless for around 30 seconds before he finally asked for a count then, after mulling it over, he tossed in a chip, which signified a call.
Michaud then revealed a flopped straight with J♦10♥, and the dealer revealed Cekalins' K♥9♦ for a pair of nines.
