When the Straight Draw Fails to Deliver
Nível 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jozef Cibicek initially called from the small blind, then Jovan Kenjic raised to 200,000 from the big blind, prompting Cibicek to call.
After the 2♠3♦A♠ flop, Cibicek executed a check-raise to 275,000, which Kenjic called.
With the 9♣ turn, Cibicek seized the initiative, betting 375,000, which Kenjic called again.
Both players opted to check through the 2♣ river. Cibicek revealed Q♥4♥, possibly anticipating a straight after a queen was revealed pre-flop when one player folded. However, Kenjic showed a pair of aces with A♦6♦, securing the 1,750,000 pot.
