Botez Falls to Better Straight
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Alexandra Botez had a strong start that saw her nearly doubling her stack early, but the popular chess streamer is no more after a cooler against Antonio Buonanno.
As relayed to PokerNews, Buonanno opened to 1,000 and Botez three-bet to 3,000. Buonanno called.
The flop of Kx9x8x checked through and Botez bet 6,000 on the 7x turn. Buonanno called. Botez then bet 10,000 on the 10x river and Buonanno raised to put her all in. Botez called.
Buonanno tabled QxJx for the nut straight, while Botez showed AxJx for a worse straight to be eliminated toward the end of Level 5.
