Lipnitskii Drills the River For a Fortunate Double
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Three-handed on a board of J♠4♠10♣7♣, Vladimir Lipnitskii moved all in for 11,700 from early position, Davor Bojovic reshoved in the cutoff, and the rest of the table folded.
Lipnitskii showed J♣8♣ for a pair and flush draw, but he was trailing the 10♥10♠ of Bojovic for a set. The river was the 9♣ and Lipnitskii spiked a straight flush to double up.
"Easy game," a tablemate said.
"$10,000 bonus for a straight flush, really," another added.
Lipnitskii began dragging in the pot as the dealer collected the cards. "No picture?" a tablemate asked Lipnitskii.
"He makes a straight flush every day," another joked.
