The Difference Between Chess and Poker
Nível 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Kanan Taherkhani raised to 12,000 from under the gun, Aleksejs Ponakovs called, and Teun Mulder reraised to 56,000 from the big blind. Taherkhani then four-bet to 157,000, which was more than half of his stack.
Action folded back to Mulder, who moved all in for around 122,000 effective. Taherkhani realized he was pot commited and put his chips in the middle. Players flipped their cards.
Kanan Taherkhani: 10♠8♠
Teun Mulder: J♦J♠
The board ran out 7♠A♦9♠K♠Q♣. Taherkhani called out as he flopped a straight flush draw. The turn completed his flush to give him the pot and double up his stack.
"That's the difference between chess and poker," said Taherkhani. "Sometimes you play bad, you know."
