Action checked through to the 6♦ and the small blind led out for 1,000. Dilts called and the button got out of the way.

The river brought the 4♣ and both players checked. The small blind turned over 8♠7♠ for a pair of eights and Dilts tabled 9♦8♥ for a pair of eights with a better kicker, awarding him the pot.
