A Straddle Pot
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Scott Drobes and his tablemates told PokerNews of a crazy hand that had just happened.
The table had agreed to a round of straddles, Colin Robinson topened to 3,300 from the cutoff. Drobes then three-bet to 10,300 out of the straddle. Robinson four-bet shoved for roughly 50,000 and Drobes snapped him off.
Colin Robinson :Q?J? 
Scott Drobes: JxJx
The flop came 10?8?6? giving Robinson a huge amount of outs to win the pot. The Q? turn was one of those outs to take the lead. However, the 9x on the river that wasn't a spade, gave both players a straight resulting in a chop, which seemed to be a result both players were happy with.
