It Was Fun While It Lasted

Shamus

Well, William Purle won't be emulating Jack Straus' famous "chip and a chair" comeback to win the 1982 WSOP Main Event.

Jamal Sawaqdeh raised from late position, and Purle called with the last of his chips from the button. Joshua Freeman called as well from the small blind.

The flop came {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

. Freeman bet 30,000, and Sawaqdeh called. The turn was the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

. This time Freeman bet 50,000, and Sawaqdeh called again.

The river was the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

. Freeman fired out 100,000, and Sawaqdeh let it go. Freeman showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

for the rivered straight, better than Purle's {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

.

Freeman now has 650,000. Sawaqdeh still has 1.3 million.
