Samaha Straightens Finger

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Bernard Samaha has been on a slippery slope for the past couple of levels but he has earned himself a brief respite from losing his chips after he doubled up through Martin Finger.

Finger opened to 500 from the cutoff seat and then called the extra 1,000 when Samaha moved all-in from the big blind.

Finger:{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Samaha:{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Samaha won with an unlikely straight.
