Nahm's Straight Doubles Him Up
Nivel 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Volodymyr Pashchetnyk started things off with a raise to 275,000 from the button, but Stephen Nahm in the big blind wasn’t having any of it. He pushed all-in, putting the pressure on Pashchetnyk, who quickly made the call.
The cards were revealed, with Nahm holding K♥10♥ and Pashchetnyk showing A♥J♥.
At first, it looked like Pashchetnyk was in a great position as the flop came down A♦5♥Q♠, giving him top pair.
However, the tides turned on the J♦ turn, giving Nahm the straight he needed to pull ahead.
The river brought a 2♣, which didn’t change anything, and just like that, Nahm managed to double up, leaving Pashchetnyk to rethink his strategy.
