Solomon Doubles With a Higher Straight
Three players went to a flop of 8♦10♥4♦ when Kevin Solomon bet 25,000 from the button. Only an opponent in early position called.
Solomon then moved all in for 53,000 on the Q♣ turn, and his opponent quickly called. "I've got outs. You have me beat," Solomon said.
"I have outs, too," his opponent said, revealing Q♥J♥ for top pair. Solomon had K♦J♦ for straight and flush draws, and the 9♣ fell on the river. Both players ended up with a straight, while Solomon's king-high earned him the pot and the double up.
