[user67765]

When you flop the nuts, always give your best poker face...

Cliff Lee limped in from middle position, James Bernard completed and Alfred Grech checked his option in the big blind to see a flop of {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

.

Bernard checked to Grech who tossed out 1,500. Lee made the call before Bernard popped it to 4,500. This forced a fold from Grech but Lee called once again.

The turn was the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

and Bernard made the price 5,000. Lee obliged and the river fell a dangerous looking {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

. It was enough to slow both players down as they checked it through.

Bernard tabled {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

for the flopped nut straight which was good to collect a nice pot. Bernard is up to 60,000 with Lee falling to around 50,000.
