Yikes on the River
Niveau 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
On a board reading J♦8♠Q♥J♠9♠, Arturas Astrauskas placed a bet of 38,000, which sent his opponent deep into the tank. After much deliberation he made the call.
Quick to show his hand, Astrauskas showed 9♣9♦ for a full house and his opponent showed A♠K♠ for the nut flush. The river made both of their hands and only one suffered the consequences.
After PokersNews asked Astrauskas where he was from (Lithuania), it turned out the player to his right was also from there and they immediately struck up conversation about their respective hometowns.
Astrauskas is now amongst the chip leaders.
