Miegel Makes the Straight

Shirley Ang

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

With about 7,000 in the middle, the flop read and Jakob Miegel had the all-in button in front of him on the button. David Mandiel had a bet of 13.500 in front of him. The two other players who were involved in the hand previously had already folded.

Mandiel was trying to figure out what to do. "What do you have? Jack-ten of diamonds?"

Miegel checked one of his cards again and replied: "no".

Mandiel took a few extra seconds before making the call for 25,400 in total.

David Mandiel:

Miegel had flopped an open-ended straight and flush draw.

The turn was the to give Miegel a pair of sevens which was already enough but the on the river made his hand even better as he improved to the straight to double up.
