Lead Change

After taking a couple of pots off Matt Sterling, Gregg Turk has just one another to retake the chip advantage.

Turk limped in from the small blind/button and Sterling checked his option. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and both checked. The turn was the {3-Spades}. Sterling checked, Turk bet 6,000, and Sterling called. The river was the {4-Spades}. Sterling checked, Turk bet 8,000, and Sterling called again.

Turk showed {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for the straight, and Sterling mucked. Turk is now up to 71,000, and Sterling down to 29,000.
