Larry Flynt Nearly Out

The under-the-gun player raised to 200 and Larry Flynt called from middle position. The flop came {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} and Flynt called a bet of 500 from his opponent.

The {5-Clubs} hit the turn and it was checked to Flynt. He bet 1,000 and got a quick call. When the river fell the {K-Diamonds}, Flynt's opponent led out for 3,000. Flynt raised to 8,000 and the under-the-gun player moved all in. Flynt made the call and the players showed:

Flynt: {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

His opponent showed Broadway and Flynt's straight was second best. He was left with just 2,200 chips after the hand.
