Reichenstein Sends Big Slick to Rail
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Uri Reichenstein raised 1,200 under the gun, and was met by an all in from a player in late position.
Action folded back to Reichenstein, who asked for a chip count and the dealer revealed his opponent had 17,700. After taking a few moments, Reichenstein elected to make the call to put his opponent at risk.
Opponent: A♣K♣
Uri Reichenstein: 6♥6♦
In a classic race situation, Reichenstien held the lead but had to dodge the two over cards. The dealer fanned 5♦4♥2♥ on the flop, which gave both players a gut-shot straight draw. But Reichenstein’s straight would be better if any three appeared on the board.
The dealer then placed 10♣ on the turn, and 6♠ on the river gave Reichenstein a set and the win to send his opponent to the rail.
