Stroke Leads for the Double-Up
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
On a board of 8?J?7?5?, the three-way action was checked to Maduka Meragal in the cutoff. He made a bet of 6,000 chips into the pot of 18,000 and Jacopo Achille folded from the small blind. Big blind Shawn Stroke, came along, however, and the 4? river emerged from the deck.
Stroke then put his final 4,700 chips in the middle and Meragal snap called. Stroke showed his Q?6? for a straight, and Meragal shook his head before mucking his cards.
