Reichenstein Sends Big Slick to Rail
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Uri Reichenstein raised 1,200 under the gun, and was met by an all in from a player in late position.
Action folded back to Reichenstein, who asked for a chip count and the dealer revealed his opponent had 17,700. After taking a few moments, Reichenstein elected to make the call to put his opponent at risk.
Opponent: A?K?
Uri Reichenstein: 6?6?
In a classic race situation, Reichenstien held the lead but had to dodge the two over cards. The dealer fanned 5?4?2? on the flop, which gave both players a gut-shot straight draw. But Reichenstein’s straight would be better if any three appeared on the board.
The dealer then placed 10? on the turn, and 6? on the river gave Reichenstein a set and the win to send his opponent to the rail.
