Radcliffe Makes a Straight for a Huge Double
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Paul Radcliffe opened 65,000 in the hijack, and Yang Wang called on the button before both the blinds called.
The dealer spread a flop of J♠10♥3♦, and once checked to, Radcliffe bet 285,000. Wang pushed 800,000 across the line, forcing the blinds out and Radcliffe shoved for 815,000 total. Wang called.
Paul Radcliffe: A♥K♦K♠Q♦ 
Yang Wang: A♠J♥10♣6♥
Radcliffe had an overpair and a wrap but was behind to the two pair of Wang. The 5♠ turn changed nothing, but the 9♦ river improved Radcliffe to a straight.
