Chien Rivers a Straight
Level 8
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Peter Chien raised to 32,000 from under the gun and was called by Mike McDonald, James Romero, and Ben Wilinofsky in the big blind. The flop came 
and the action checked to McDonald who bet 65,000. Romero and Wilinofsky quickly folded but Chien called.
The turn was the 
and both players checked to the 
on the river. Chien led out for 110,000 and McDonald hesitated before making the call. Chien tabled 
for a straight and McDonald looked skyward with a grimace on his face.
