Yaroshevskyy Seizes Pot with a Straight
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
With around 50,000 in the pot and the board showing K♥9♣3♦7♣10♠, three players remained in contention.
Henri Antikainen, seated in the big blind, checked to Igor Yaroshevskyy, who was under the gun. After a brief moment of thought, Yaroshevskyy made a sizeable bet of 57,500. Mario Colavita, in middle position, went into the tank, deliberating for some time before ultimately folding.
Antikainen, however, quickly made the call, leading to a showdown. Yaroshevskyy revealed Q♦J♥, completing a straight on the river. Antikainen, clearly surprised, mucked his hand as the pot was sent Yaroshevskyy's way, adding a significant chunk to his stack.
