Meitanis Rivers the Goods
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
George Meitanis moved all in from early position for 130,000 and was called by Osman Ihlamur on the button who held a covering stack.
George Meitanis: 7♣6♣
Osman Ihlamur: A♣J♠
Ihlamur was ahead and remained so on the Q♥K♦8♠ flop. The 9♣ turn did give Meitanis an open-ended straight draw, but only the five would help as the ten would give Ihlamur a broadway straight. Meitanis got excactly what he needed on the 5♠ river and secured a full double up at Ihlamur's expense.
