Lindqwist Doubles Up with a Straight Against Dato's Aces
Andrea Dato kicked off the action on the button with a raise to 12,000, but Erik Lindqwist in the small blind wasn’t backing down, three-betting to 45,000. Dato called.
On the J?Q?J? flop, Lindqwist kept the pressure on with an 18,000 continuation bet, and Dato called again.
When the 10? hit the turn, Lindqwist took his time, using his entire time bank plus an additional card, before shoving all in. Dato asked for a count, and when the dealer confirmed 188,000, he needed a time bank card of his own before making the call, bringing the hand to showdown.
Lindqwist revealed A?K? for a turned straight, while Dato held A?A? for aces up. Dato needed help from the river to improve or hope for a chop, but the 7? didn’t deliver. Lindqwist secured a huge double-up.
