Nader Turns a Straight, Checks it Down
Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,500, 1,500 ante
Arian Kashani opened from the hijack and got a call out of Alfred Nader in the small blind.
They went to a flop of K♥8♥10♦ where Nader check-called a bet of 4,000 from Kashani to the 9♣ turn, which went check-check.
A 9♥ paired the board on the river and brought in the flush draw, and both players checked it down.
"Straight," said Nader as he showed 7♠6♦. Kashani couldn't beat that and sent his cards face down back to the dealer.
