Ripnick Doubles Up With a Flopped Straight
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The action was picked up on the turn, where John Ripnick, on the button, bet 70,000 into a pot of slightly under 100,000.
The board read J?9?K?6?. Michel Molenaar, who was in the big blind, thought for a few moments and then called.
By the river, which was 4?, the pot had ballooned to around 240,000. Molenaar checked first to act and Ripnick bet his remaining stack for just a bit under the size of the pot. After thinking for some time, Molenaar called.
Ripnick turned over Q?10? for the nuts, while Molenaar showed he had 6?9? for turned two pair.
