Theologis Doubles Through Kuo With Straight Over Straight

Daniel J O'Hair

Niveau 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Alex Theologis and Kitty Kuo were heads-up on a flop of 2♥4♠K♠. Theologis was in the big blind and check-called a 5,000 bet from Kuo.

Both players checked on the A♣ turn and then Theologis overbet the pot for 32,000 after the 3♣ completed the board.

Kuo announced she was all in and Theologis quickly called all in for 147,000 total.

Kuo held 5♥4♥ for a five-high straight, but it was no good against Theologis' 5♦6♥ for the nuts — sending the massive pot Theologis' way.
