There's A Sherif In Town

In a limped pot the flop was {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} when the action checked to Karib Karib on the button who fired out 1,700. Sherif Derias was the lone caller in middle position.

The turn was the {A-Spades} and again the bet from Karib, this time for 2,400, was called by Derias. They went to the river where the {7-Diamonds} peeled off. Derias checked and Karib fired for a third time for 3,000. Derias made the call and revealed {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a rivered straight to take the pot as Karib could only muster {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}.

Derias is up to 50,000 with Karib falling to 30,000.
