Govea's Straight is Second Best
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Three players saw the 4♠9♦10♦ flop with around 10,500 in the pot. After the two blinds checked, Anton Danilov bet 3,500 from the hijack. The player in the small blind called, and Adrian Govea came along from the big blind.
All three checked the Q♥ turn before the 5♦ completed the board. The small blind checked for a third time and Govea bet 10,000. Danilov folded, but the small blind quickly called.
Govea tabled Jx8x for a straight, but it was second best to the higher straight of the small blind, who revealed K♦J♥ to win the pot.
