Graells' Straight Rivers into a Flush
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Three players brewed a pot of about 38,000 on the J?9?8?10? turn, and both Ricardo Graells and Alexander van der Swaluw checked to Salvino Belhoul as he fired a bet of 8,500. Graells thought about it for about 15 seconds before making the call, and van der Swaluw instantly folded.
The 8? completed the board on the river, and both players tapped the table. Graells rolled over A?Q?, which was a straight to the queen on the turn, improving to a flush. Belhoul showed his Q? in disgust as he tossed his other card face down toward the dealer.
