Usher Hits a Straight on the River
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
With 2,800 in the middle and the flop reading 5♦6♥Q♠, Brian Usher checked from the small blind and the under-the-gun player bet 1,200. Usher made the call.
On the 7♠ turn, Usher check-called again, this time for 2,200. The river brought the 3♣ and Usher led out with a bet of 4,000. Under the gun then raised to 10,000 and Usher quickly made the call.
Usher tabled A♥4♣ for a straight, besting the A♣7♥ of under the gun, who had a pair of sevens.
