Sokolovsky Rivers a Straight to Pick Off Donato's Bluff
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alexander Sokolovsky raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and Carmelo Donato defended out of the big blind.
The two players checked a flop of 8?5?7? to see the 3? fall on the turn. Donato led out for 35,000 and Sokolovsky called.
Donato bet 180,000 when the 4? hit the river and was snap-called by Sokolovsky.
Donato sheepishly turned over J?10? for a busted flush draw. Sokolovsky showed A?6? for a rivered straight and the pot was pushed towards him.
