Clifton Draws Out

With the board reading {6-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, Brandon Clifton led out for 1,150. His opponent immediately pushed the rest of his 3,125 chips in the middle.

"I guess I'm priced in," Clifton muttered facing the 1,875 raise.

After mulling the decision over for a minute or so, Clifton finally called and sheepishly tabled {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a gut-shot straight draw and a flush draw. His opponent opened {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for top two-pair.

The tabled erupted when the {5-Spades} fell on the river, giving Clifton a straight and eliminating his opponent. Clifton's good fortune has him sitting pretty with over 8,000 in his stack.
