Former Major League Baseball player Jose Canseco faced an 1200-chip open and a call from two early position players, and three-bet to 5000 on the button. The under the gun player called and went heads-up to the flop against Canseco.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and the under the gun player checked. Canseco put in a continuation bet for 10,000 and got a call, bringing the {q-Hearts} on the turn.

The under the gun player checked again, and Canseco fired another 10,000 and got called. The river came the {q-Clubs} and both players checked, and Canseco showed {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} to drag a 54,200 pot.

"I was afraid of the flush," Canseco said of his check back on the river. The former baseball star has now amassed a 167,000 chip stack.
