Niste Pulls out the Sneaky Straight
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alec Torelli raised in the cutoff to 10,000 and Mihai Niste made the call from the big blind. The flop came out with 6♥10♥4♦ and both players checked.
The turn K♣ was also checked through.
On the river 8♠ Niste bet out for 12,000 and Torelli contemplated, made the call and mucked when Niste turned over 9♦7♦ for the straight and was so confident he was the winner he pulled back his bet before Torelli mucked.
