Thornton Makes a Straight to Double
Level 6
Pot-Limit Omaha
Three players, including Schuyler Thornton on the button and Maxx Coleman in middle position, put in 5,500 heading to the Q♦8♦9♣ flop.
A player under the gun then bet 20,000 and Coleman got out of the way. Thornton, though, moved all in for his last 18,000.
Schuyler Thornton: A♣7♥9♥10♣
Opponent: Q♥8♣J♦K♣
"You have it," Thornton asked his opponent before revealing his cards. He had a pair of nines and a straight draw, while his opponent held two pair.
The 7♠ turn didn't change anything, but Thornton completed his straight on the 6♥ river and doubled up.
