Plesuv's Straight Gets Paid
Level 13
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetsov opened 40,000 in the cutoff and both Dominik Nitsche and Pavel Plesuv came along from the blinds.
The dealer spread a flop of Q♥J♥2♣ and all three players checked to the 9♥ turn.
Nitsche check-folded to a bet of 45,000 from Plesuv but Kuznetsov stuck around with a call.
The J♠ completed the board on the river and Plesuv continued for 165,000. Kuznetsov went into the tank, using two time banks before making the call.
Plesuv rolled 10♦8♥ for a straight, and Kuznetsov mucked his hand.
