Straight Over Straight for Chalupka and Fechter
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Pavel Chalupka raised out of the hijack to 100,000 and Trent Fechter defended out of the big blind.
The flop came 9?7?A?. Fechter check-raised a continuation of 100,000 from Chalupka to 350,000. Chalupka called.
The 10? on the turn saw Fechter commit an additional 300,000 chips into the middle. Chalupka made the call for what was most of his stack.
On the 8? river Fechter bet enough to put his opponent all in and Chalupka called.
Pavel Chalupka: A?J?
Trent Fechter: 8?6?
Fechter's ten-high straight lost to the jack-high straight of Chalupka.
