Straver Drops Below 100K
Level 6
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Lewis Spencer opened to 6,500 from the cutoff and Johannes Straver called from the big blind.
The 9♠8♠3♦ flop checked through to the 2♣ turn. Straver led out for 26,000 and was called.
The 4♣ completed the board and Straver sized up to 55,000. Spencer quickly flicked in a calling chip.
Straver had been caught speeding and could only show 7♣6♦ for seven-high. Spencer had 10♠9♥ for top pair and took in the pot.
"Keep trapping me," said Straver as he counted out his short stack.
"I just keep getting good hands," replied Spencer.
