Kamel Pays to See Niste's Straight

Level 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Mihai Niste

Ryan Mandara raised under the gun to 300,000 with Tamer Kamel and Mihai Niste calling out of the blinds.

The three players checked a flop of 589 to see the 10 roll off on the turn. Kamel checked from the small blind, and Niste bet 425,000. Only Kamel stuck around with a call.

Kamel checked again when the 2 hit the the river. Niste meticulously carved out a bet of 1,400,000 and Kamel went into the tank. After burning through some of his time bank cards, Kamel put in the call.

Niste turned over a straight with J7 and Kamel tossed his cards into the muck.
