Davies Flops a Straight But Folds the River
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Seth Davies opened to 5,000 first to act and Steven Cairns called in the cutoff. On the button, Tsugunari Toma three-bet to 17,000 and both opponents called.
On the 9?8?5? flop, Davies checked before Cairns opted to lead for 35,000. Toma called on the button before Davies check-raised to 95,000. Cairns folded while Toma put in the call.
Davies led for 45,000 on the 7? turn and Toma put in the call.
On the 10? river, Davies blocked for 30,000 before Toma put in a raise to 210,000. Davies immediately sat back in his chair in pain.
"I flopped a straight but that's a bad river," lamented Davies.
Davies would then fold 7?6? face up.
"I really thought I was going to win a big one," Davies continued.
