Sokolovsky Rivers a Straight to Pick Off Donato's Bluff
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alexander Sokolovsky raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and Carmelo Donato defended out of the big blind.
The two players checked a flop of 8♦5♥7♥ to see the 3♦ fall on the turn. Donato led out for 35,000 and Sokolovsky called.
Donato bet 180,000 when the 4♠ hit the river and was snap-called by Sokolovsky.
Donato sheepishly turned over J♦10♦ for a busted flush draw. Sokolovsky showed A♠6♦ for a rivered straight and the pot was pushed towards him.
