Emmanuel Lopez Knocks Out a Player

Jun 27, 2018

After a flop of Heart 10Club 9Heart 8, the small blind bets 5,000, Emmanuel Lopez raises from UTG+1 to about 14,500, and a player in middle position moves all in for 28,400.

The small blind folds, and Lopez calls, slightly covering his stack with Diamond JSpade 10 for a pair of tens with an open-ended straight draw. His opponent turns over Spade 9Heart 9 for a set of nines, and needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card is the Heart 7, the river card is the Club 4, and Lopez turns a jack-high straight to win the pot and eliminate his opponent.
