Cunha Rivers a Straight to Take Down Sorainen's Flopped Set
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Gabriel Cunha opened from the hijack to 25,000 and Mateusz Wozniak three-bet to 70,000 in the cutoff. Luka Sorainen then four-bet from the small blind to 170,000. Cunha wasn't done yet and made a five-bet to 280,000, which got Wozniak to fold, but Sorainen called.
On the 9?J?6? flop, both players checked to see the 8? hit the turn. Sorainen bet 215,000, and Cunha called.
A 10? on the river made the board a little scary and Sorainen checked, then Cunha shoved for 354,000. Sorainen gave it some thought but eventually elected to call.
Cunha tabled Q?Q? for a rivered straight, and Sorainen flashed J?J? for top set.
