Vartzar Turns His Straight

Action folded over to Miller Dao in middle position and he raised to 550. He got three callers. Steven Burkholder called from the hijack seat, Allen Kessler called from small blind and Romik Vartzar called from the big blind.

All four of them saw the flop come down {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and action checked over to Dao. He stayed aggressive with a continuation bet of 925. Burkholder folded, as did Kessler, but Vartzar came along to the turn.

Fourth street brought the {J-Spades} and Vartzar reached for some chips. He bet 1,350 and was called by Dao.

The river card was the {4-Clubs}. Vartzar bet 2,700 and his bet sent Dao into the tank. After a couple minutes, Dao mucked his hand and Vartzar smirked, showing the {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a straight.
