Hammann Rivers a Straight
Level 44
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Aliosha Staes limped in from the small blind and Benjamin Hammann checked his option in the big blind.
Staes took the lead for 700,000 on the 4?8?3? flop. Hammann called.
The 7? turn checked through to the 5? on the river. Staes bet out 2,000,000 and Hammann went deep into the tank. Hammann thought for some time before finally making the call.
Staes tabled Q?Q?, but was beaten by Hammann's A?2?, having made the dummy end of the straight on the river.
