Donovan Checks Back the Nut Straight
Level 18
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Nearly 100,000 was already in the middle as Dawid Chmiel, Fabian Donovan, and Tim Chung went to the turn on a board of J?10?9?K?.
Donovan then bet 55,000 from the cutoff and Chung, standing up and propping up his knee on his seat, tanked for a minute before calling. Chmiel quickly mucked.
The river came the 2? and Chung checked over to Donovan, who this time checked back and turned over A?Q? for the straight. Chung spent a moment studying the board before releasing his hand.
