Verspui Getting Back to Expected Value

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

It folded around to Robbie Verspui in the small blind and he moved all in for his final 245,000. Michael Sousa immediately made the call from the big blind and the hands were turned up.

Verspui: {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Sousa: {a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The flop was {9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} giving Verspui an open-ended straight draw along with two live cards that could be paired. The turn was the {q-Clubs} which didn't change anything. While the {7-Clubs} of Verspui would no longer play if a Jack came, his {k-Spades} would still give him a higher straight than Sousa.

The river was the {6-Spades} which doubled up Verspui to 525,000 and made Sousa our new short stack with just 260,000.
