Ogura Takes Down Big Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On a three-way flop of 5♦4♣6♥, Ludovic Geilich checked, Takashi Ogura bet 27,000 and was called by both opponents.
The turn was the 8♦ and it was checked again to Ogura, who bet the pot, putting himself all in for around 300,000.
The short-stacked player behind him called for his last 45,000 while Geilich eventually folded after some thought.
Opponent: Q♦10♣9♦8♥
Takashi Ogura: A♣Q♠8♠7♣
Ogura was well in the lead with his straight, but his opponent could still hit a flush or higher straight to win.
The river J♥ did neither of those things, and Ogura was shipped the pot while his opponent headed to the payout desk.
