Francort Shows Down a Straight

Ryan Lashmar

Niveau 24 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Christian Stoyanov opened to 42,000 from under the gun and Javier Francort defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the flop, turn and river on a board of J♥8♠7♣7♥5♥.

"Straight" Francort said.

"Really?" Stoyanov replied, clearly surprised.

Francort tabled K♣9♥6♠5♠ for a rivered nine-high straight and Stoyanov's hand hit the muck.
