Kamel Pays to See Niste's Straight

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

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 5♠8♠9♣ 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 J♣7♣ and Kamel tossed his cards into the muck.
