Dwire is in Dire Straits
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Garrett Dwire opened to 16,000 in middle position and AJ Thompson called from the big blind. The flop came 6♠5♠4♣ and both players checked to the 7♣ on the turn.
Thompson led out with a bet of 12,000 and Dwire just called to see the 8♥ on the river. With a straight on the board, Thompson grabbed a stack of 60,000 chips and slid it forward. Dwire gave it some thought and then flicked in a call.
Thompson flipped over 10♣9♠ for the nut straight while Dwire was just hoping for half of the pot with A♠3♣.
