Straight on the River

As short stack Deepak Parmar moves in from the button, Paul Jackson takes just seconds to call 1,450 extra with {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} but is over the moon to see his opponent flip {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

"Nervous?" I ask Paul.

"He's the one that should be nervous," replies Paul.

Either way, both players got their fair share of excitement, the flop coming an oooooooh-inducing {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Some sickos in the crowd were calling out for another diamond, but it didn't arrive as the dealer popped out a blank {10-Hearts}.

However, Paul was still straighting, and he did indeed straighten up on the {3-Hearts} river, much to the chagrin of Parmar who, admittedly, took his exit like a man.
