Straight Talk: The Shocking Turn of Events
With around 11,000 already sitting in the pot, the flop revealed 7?10?8?, and Petr Targa was the first to take action. He fired out a bet of 4,500, only for Mateusz Moolhuizen on the button to call without hesitation.
When the J? hit the turn, Targa decided to check, and Moolhuizen took the opportunity to ramp up the pressure with a bet of 9,000. Targa thought it over but eventually called, curious to see where this was headed.
The river brought the 5?, and Targa checked once again. Moolhuizen wasn��t holding back; he made a bet of 12,000, which Targa called again.
When it came time for the showdown, Moolhuizen revealed 6?4?, grinning as he said, "I don��t have the nine; I just have a small straight."
Targa took a moment to process what had just unfolded, realizing Moolhuizen had indeed outplayed him. After some contemplation, he mucked his hand, and with that, Moolhuizen continued to build his stack.
