Straddles All Around

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Johan Guilbert alerted the live reporting team that his table was playing a round of straddles and that the hands were going to be fun to follow.

Dimitar Danchev had indeed raised to 800 from under the gun and Guilbert called from the hijack, so did Andrey Andreev on the button. They all checked through the whole {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{a-Spades} board for Danchev to claim the pot with the {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for the pair of fives.

On the next hand, Tamon Nakamura min-raised from under the gun, and Andreev, in the cutoff, and Danchev, in the big blind, called. The flop came {3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, Danchev bet 800 for Nakamura to fold but for Andreev to make the call. They then both proceeded by checking through the {a-Diamonds} on the turn and the {7-Clubs} on the river. Danchev showed the {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for Andreev to table the {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for two pair and the pot.

Another hand later, Hossein Madani was up to raise blind from under the gun and Andreev three-bet to 4,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Madani who made the call. They both checked through the {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop and the {6-Clubs} on the turn to the {5-Spades} on the river. Madani bet 3,000 for Andreev to make the call with the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} for Madani to win the hand with the {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}.

In the final hand of the straddle round, Guilbert himself was up for the straddle. Sirzat Hissou three-bet to 2,500 from the hijack for Danny Pyke to make the call from the cutoff. Nakamura four-bet shoved for 49,100 from the small blind. Everyone folded.
