Damien Oborne Flops The Nuts

Damien Oborne
Damien Oborne
The action folds to Poker News writer Damien Oborne who throws out a single 500 chip from late position. After some confusion, the bet is considered only a call rather than a raise, and both blinds come along to see a cheap flop.

The flop brings {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and the player in the big blind leads for 300. Oborne raises it up to 800 and the big blind makes the call.

The turn is the {J-Spades} and both players check. The river lands the {5-Spades} and Oborne tosses 1,000 in the pot and is quickly called. Oborne flips over {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for the straight which is too good for his opponent's pair of jacks. Oborne is progressing well and now has close to 10,000 in chips.
