No Trust in The Straight
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Niclas Thumm and Boris Angelov were in the blinds, with Thumm calling with 8?8? and Angelov checking with 10?9?.
Both players checked through the flop of 10?5?J?.
On the turn, the K? appeared, prompting Thumm to bet 125,000, which Angelov called.
Thumm took the lead again on the river with Q? and bet 230,000. Despite three hearts on the board and the possibility of a better straight with an ace, Angelov just called and claimed the pot of 950,000 with his pair of tens.
