Milanos "Rivers" a Straight

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

When we reached Table 35, the board was {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Keith Brodie led out for 4,000 - what looked like a pot-sized bet - and Jerry Milanos called.

The {10-Clubs} completed the board, but before the card even hit the felt, Brodie was reaching for chips. He fired out 7,300, and Milanos took some time to assemble chips before calling.

Brodie showed {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for aces and fives, and was beside himself when Milanos tabled {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a straight.

"Gotta be f***in kidding," Brodie spat.

He turned to a friend at a neighboring table.

"I just got my aces cracked," he yelled.

Milanos silently raked in the pot - he now has 44,000 chips - while Brodie was still boiling.

"Called all the way to the river," Brodie sighed, turning to Milanos. "You won't last long playing like that."
