Ripnick Doubles Up With a Flopped Straight
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The action was picked up on the turn, where John Ripnick, on the button, bet 70,000 into a pot of slightly under 100,000.
The board read J♠9♥K♦6♠. Michel Molenaar, who was in the big blind, thought for a few moments and then called.
By the river, which was 4♦, the pot had ballooned to around 240,000. Molenaar checked first to act and Ripnick bet his remaining stack for just a bit under the size of the pot. After thinking for some time, Molenaar called.
Ripnick turned over Q♣10♥ for the nuts, while Molenaar showed he had 6♥9♠ for turned two pair.
