Maher Flops the World
Level 31
: 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Uke Dauti opened to 325,000 from the button with 
and Jerry Maher called in the big blind, holding 
. The dealer fanned out 
on the flop and Maher checked to Dauti who bet 300,000.
Maher check-called with his flopped straight and the 
fell on the turn. Maher again checked to Dauti who again bet, this time for 500,000 and Maher used a time-extension but ultimately elected to call.
The 
hit the felt as a river card and both players checked. Maher flipped over for a straight and Dauti threw his cards into the muck.
