Adam’s Straight Tops Traskevich’s Two Pair
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nikolay Traskevich opened the action from early position with a raise to 7,000, and both Huseyn Erbay on the button and Michael Adam in the big blind made the call.
The J♦4♦A♣ flop saw all three players check, keeping the pot small.
When the 10♣ hit the turn, Traskevich took the lead again with a 16,000 bet, and this time only Adam stuck around, calling.
On the Q♠ river, Adam led out with a 10,000 bet, and Traskevich snap-called. Adam revealed K♦6♠, showing a straight. Traskevich, shaking his head in frustration, showed Q♥J♥ for two pair, clearly displeased with how the hand ended.
