Kowal Runs Into a Straight
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Graydon Kowal opened to 2,300 from the hijack and Cory Skolnik called in the cutoff as Maurice Paola came along from the big blind.
Kowal continued for 4,500 on the flop of 4♦Q♠5♣ and both opponents called. Kowal then moved all in for around 28,000 on the 8♥ turn and only Skolnik called.
Graydon Kowal: Q♥8♠ 
Cory Skolnik: 7♥6♥
The turn gave Kowal two pair but also gave his opponent a straight and he failed to fill up on the 2♥ river to be sent to the rail.
