Nahm's Straight Doubles Him Up
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Volodymyr Pashchetnyk started things off with a raise to 275,000 from the button, but Stephen Nahm in the big blind wasn’t having any of it. He pushed all-in, putting the pressure on Pashchetnyk, who quickly made the call.
The cards were revealed, with Nahm holding K?10? and Pashchetnyk showing A?J?.
At first, it looked like Pashchetnyk was in a great position as the flop came down A?5?Q?, giving him top pair.
However, the tides turned on the J? turn, giving Nahm the straight he needed to pull ahead.
The river brought a 2?, which didn’t change anything, and just like that, Nahm managed to double up, leaving Pashchetnyk to rethink his strategy.
