Vito Sturiano, Gary Talim, and David Doeh went three ways to a flop of [9c 7s As]. It was checked to Sturiano on the button, and he fired out 175,000. Talim moved all in, having both players easily covered. Doeh folded, and Sturiano thought for about 15 seconds before tossing chips in for the call.
Sturiano: [Ac Qh]
Talim: [8s 6s]
Sturiano’s top pair was ahead, but he had a world of outs to draw, as Talim had a flush draw and open ended straight draw. The dealer wasted no time in putting the [5d] on the turn, giving Talim an unbeatable straight. Sturiano will have to settle for $3,050, while Talim takes a big lead with six players left.
