A Fluke for Luke

A player in middle position raised to 1,525, the button called, and Luke Schwartz called as well from the small blind. The flop came {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and all three checked. The turn was the {5-Hearts}. Schwartz led for 2,500, the original raiser folded, and the button called.

Both Schwartz and his opponent checked the {4-Clubs} river. Schwartz showed {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a busted straight draw, but his jack-high was good enough as his opponent mucked.
