Morelli Straightens Out Gieles

Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Felipe Morelli opened to 3,000 from the hijack and was called by Pim Gieles in the big blind.
Gieles check-called a 2,000 bet from Morelli on the 9?6?9? flop and then both players checked on the 8? turn.
The 10? completed the board and Gieles led out for 3,500. Morelli then raised to 8,500 and Gieles called after a bit of thought.
Morelli tabled 8?7? for a straight, which got a muck from Gieles to send Morelli the pot.
