Always a Sweat

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With 18,500 already in the pot, the flop came out 9?7?6? and Toko Luu bet 10,000 into his heads-up opponent, Joshua Baker.

Baker then wasted no time and moved all in for around 80,000. After getting a count from the dealer, Luu thought about it for a few more seconds before he set out a stack of chips to make the call.

Joshua Baker: 9?9?
Toko Luu: 10?10?

Baker had a huge lead with his top set of nines, but the turn J? gave Luu a gutshot straight draw AND a flush draw. Luckily for Baker, the river was the brick K? and he secured the huge pot for a big double-up.

"Phew! Had to make me sweat on the turn too!" Baker sighed with relief as he stacked his new chips.
