Running Straight Saves Machio, Sheth Doubles Following Hand

Seeing an under-the-gun raise to 2,000 and three calls ahead of him, Ravi Sheth squeezed to 10,000 on the button. Dorian Machio moved all in from the small blind for 19,900, and, once all the other players had folded, Sheth called.

Dorian Machio: 7♦7♥ All in
Ravi Sheth: 10♠10♦

A disgruntled Eric Lai let the table know that he had folded pocket jacks in the cutoff.

Things looked good for Sheth until the dealer spread a 9♥6♣K♦8♠5♦ board, improving Machio to a straight, earning him more than a full double-up.

The very next shuffle, Joao Diogo raised in middle position to 2,000, and faced a three-bet to 6,500 from Sheth in the cutoff. The action folded back to Diogo, who called.

The action checked all the way to the river on the Q♦9♠4♠10♠ board, and the 4♣ completed the board.

Diogo saw a green light to bet, putting 12,000 into the middle. Sheth returned in kind, raising to 45,000, which was almost his entire stack.

Diogo called and received bad news. Sheth rolled over 10♣10♥, revealing a full house, and Diogo mucked his cards.
