The Perfect Turn for Stavrakis
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
The player in the small blind raised to 5,000. Filippos Stavrakis three-bet to 15,000 and the small blind called.
The board came 8?J?Q?. Undeterred, the small blind chose to lead for 20,000 into Stavrakis, the preflop aggressor. Stavrakis called and both players went to a turn.
The K? landed and the small blind moved all in. Stavrakis snap called tabling his cards as he did so. He showed A?10? for the turned nut straight. The small blind forced to show tabled A?4? with only hopes of a chop - no help for the small blind on the river and Stavrakis doubles up.
