Rannou Turns a Straight

Barry Russell

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Samuel Rannou raised to 250,000 from the cutoff, Sanjay Patel went all in from the button for 710,000, the blinds folded and Rannou made the call.

Sanjay Patel: K♥K♣ All in
Samuel Rannou: A♥8♣

Sweaty start for Patel as Rannou flopped a straight draw on 10♣9♣J♦. The worst turn card for Patel as the 7♠ gave Rannou a straight.

Patel needed a queen to appear to survive for the higher straight, but no luck as the 5♣ was dealt on the river and he was eliminated.
