Michaud Flops a Straight, Gets Max Value from Cekalins

Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

There were already around 20,000 chips in the pot on a board of 8?7?9?2? when Clement Michaud fired out 12,000 from the big blind, and Ritvars Cekalins called in the cutoff.
They both watched the 8? drop on the river where Michaud almost immediately moved in for 28,000. Cekalins sat motionless for around 30 seconds before he finally asked for a count then, after mulling it over, he tossed in a chip, which signified a call.
Michaud then revealed a flopped straight with J?10?, and the dealer revealed Cekalins' K?9? for a pair of nines.
