John Juanda just paid Steve O'Dwyer off on the river when the board read {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

Juanda raised preflop to 260,000 and the action folded to O'Dwyer in the big blind. He called and the two players saw the flop of {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}. They both checked the flop and the {10-Clubs} on the turn. The river was the {7-Spades} and O'Dwyer bet 300,000.

Juanda debated his decision for a moment, and then called.

"I have a straight, but I probably don't need it," said O'Dwyer as he showed {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}. The six gave him a straight, but O'Dwyer was convinced his ten was good enough to take it down.

"You were right on both counts," Juanda responded as he mucked his hand.
