French Runs Into Middleton's Straight
Level 3
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Lee French had a raise of 1,500 in front of him from the hijack and Tom Middleton then reraised to 4,000 on the button. French called and they went heads-up to the 8♣Q♦Q♣ flop.
Middleton continued for 2,200 and French called. The turn was the 9♠ and Middleton bet another 7,500.
French again stuck around to see the A♦ river, where Middleton moved all in for 15,800. French quickly called with Q♥10♥ for trip queens, but Middleton had J♦10♦ for the turned straight as he doubled up.
