Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
With around 15,000 in the pot on a board of 10♥7♣K♥8♣, Joshua McClain moved all in for 19,100 on the button. Richard Smith folded in the big blind, while another opponent under the gun called.
McClain showed K♣6♣ for top pair and a flush draw, while his opponent had 9♠7♠. The river was the 9♦ to give the under-the-gun player two pair, but it took a moment for the table to realize McClain had actually made a straight to win the pot and double up.
