Straight Over Straight Sends Thumm to the Rail
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Rachel Wong limped in from the cutoff, as did the button. Lisa Thumm completed from the small blind and Helene Delval checked her option in the big blind.
The 7♠8♦5♦ flop checked through to the 6♦ on the turn. Thumm took the lead for 5,000, Delval raised to 15,000 and Wong cold called. The button folded and Thumm moved all in for 17,500. Both players called.
The 10♣ turn saw Delval check. Wong bet out 25,000 and Delval called.
Lisa Thumm: A♥4♥ 
Helene Delval: 9♠3♦
Rachel Wong: K♦J♣
Thumm held the dummy end of the straight, while Delval had the goods to send her to the rail.
