Ibarrola Makes His Straight

Daniel J O'Hair

Niveau 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Mohamed Mamouni opened to 1,700 from the cutoff and was called by Alexis Ibarrola in the big blind.

Ibarrola check-called a 2,000 bet from Mamouni on the 9♣7♠9♣ flop and then both players checked on the 10♦ river.

The 6♥ filled the river and Ibarrola fired 4,000 into the middle. Mamouni quickly called and Ibarrola tabled 5♣8♣ for a rivered straight.

Mamouni couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Ibarrola.
