Black Almost Doubles Up

With 1,400 chips in the pot preflop, Andy Black checked a {4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop and then called the all-in bet of his opponent for 3,400 chips. Black was ahead with {3-Spades}{4-Spades} against his opponent's {3-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for Black, the turn and river came {3-Clubs} and {A-Diamonds} to make a 5-high straight for both players.

Black remains alive with 5,800 chips.
