Fargo Flops the Nuts
Dan Smith, who had just sat down at the table, raised to 900 from middle position. He was called by Matthew Jewett on the button, Timothy Fargo in the small blind, and the player in the big blind.
The action checked to Jewett on a flop that read 
and he threw out a bet of 2,800. Fargo called in the small blind but then the player in the big blind three-bet to 8,700.
Smith and Jewett released their hands. It was now Fargo's turn to act and he put in a four-bet to 23,000.
"Look what you started Dan...we haven't seen action like this all day", said Jewett. "Sorry", replied Smith.
The player in the big blind called the four-bet and the turn came the 
pairing the board. Fargo checked and his opponent sized down with a bet of 5,800 to which he made the call.
The action checked through the 
river bringing three cards to a flush.
Fargo tabled 
for the flopped straight which was good for the pot despite the board being paired with three cards to a flush.
