Daly Messes Around and Makes a Straight to Approach Chip Lead
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 10,000 ante
Four ways to a limped flop of A♦4♦5♣, Jason Daly checked his K♦J♥7♥5♠ in the small blind.
Sung Keem checked in the big blind and Carson Wieland bet 70,000 with A♠A♣9♥8♦ having flopped top set in early position.
Ray Henson folded the button, Daly made the call, and Keem folded.
On the 6♣ turn, Daly check-called a bet of 110,000 to see the 8♣ fall on the river, giving him a straight.
Daly checked again and Wieland bet 305,000 holding the A♣ amidst his set.
Daly thought for a couple of minutes, telling Wieland that he was just messing around and made a straight.
Ultimately he called and his straight was good to boost his stack over two million and push him toward Thai Ha's chip lead.
