Niveau 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Hossien Taki raised to 31,000, from the hijack. Jelle Moene defended in the big blind.

The 3♠4♥5♠ flop checked through to the 2♠ on the turn. Moene took the lead for 55,000 and Taki made the call.

The K♥ landed on the river and Moene sized up to 85,000. Taki snap-called. Moene tabled A♦6♦ for a straight; good enough to send Taki's cards into the muck.

"You missed value," Taki told Moene.

"That sucks for me," Moene replied, as he stacked a healthy amount of Taki's chips.
