Straight Shooter

Raymond Davis limped from early position and Fabrice Soulier followed suit from the button. The small blind folded and the big blind moved all in for his last 10,500. Both Davis and Soulier called and the flop came down {3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Both players checked and Soulier folded when Davis bet 4,000 on the {6-Diamonds} river. After Soulier got out of the way the hands were turned up to find that the all in player was ahead.

Davis: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Fortunately for Davis, the {2-Spades} struck the river and gave him a winning straight.

"There we go!" exclaimed Davis with delight. "There we go!"

Davis took down the pot and increased his stack to 56,000 while his opponent took the long walk to the rail.
