Galiana Checks His Way to Straight
Action has drastically slowed down in Level 36, as multiple hands haven’t gone past the turn, and three-bet preflop hands are absent.
But a handful of hands have gone to the river, such as this one.
Antonio Galiana raised 2,000,000 with Q♠8♥, and Johan Guilbert called with 10♥9♠.
The dealer fanned 9♣K♣6♠, giving Guilbert middle pair. Galiana didn’t have anything, but that didn’t prevent him from putting chips in the middle with a 1,500,00 bet, which Guilbert called.
Things slowed down on the turn when 7♣ appeared, which gave Galiana an open-ended straight draw. Both players checked.
The 5♠ on the turn completed Galiana’s straight for the winning hand, but he checked. If Galiana had hoped to trap his opponent with a check-raise, it wouldn’t have happened because Guilbert had checked behind.
