Morita Hits the Straight
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Pat Landis was under the gun and raised to 8,000 and Mayuko Morita aka MJ called from the big blind.
The flop came out 7?4?J? and Landis placed a continuation bet of 14,000 and Morita moved all in for 51,500. Landis made the call and the cards were tabled.
Mayuko Morita: 9?10?.
Pat Landis: J?10?.
Morita was behind but gunning for the straight or the backdoor flush draw and Landis held top pair and the club flush draw.
The turn 8? gave more equity to Landis but completed Morita's straight. The river 10? changed nothing and Morita doubled.
