Astratov Hits Straight Against Rebei

Dmitriy Astratov opened with a bet of 3,000 from middle position. He was called by Karim Rebei, who was also in the middle position, and by the big blind.

On the flop 5♦8♥Q♣, Astratov added 5,000 chips to the pot. Rebei then raised to 12,000. The big blind folded at this point, and Astratov eventually called.

The turn was the Q♠. Rebei fired a second barrel of 6,700, and he was called again by Astratov, who took the lead on the river 6♠. He threw 30,000 chips in front of him. Rebei decided to raise to 150,000 to force Astratov to go all in, and he did, with his remaining 63,000 chips.
