Byrne Falls to a Straight
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Josh Butler opened to 3,500 from under the gun and Torey Byrne shipped all in for 14,500 on the button. Jacob Foley flat-called in the small blind and Butler called as well.
The flop came A♠7♦2♣ and the action checked through on the side pot to the 3♥ on the turn and the 4♥ on the river. Foley checked for the third time and Butler finally tossed in a bet of 25,000. Foley let his hand go and the remaining two hands were tabled.
Butler flipped over 5♠5♦ for a rivered straight while Byrne held A♣4♣ for two pair.
"That was gross!" Byrne said after the hand. "Check, check, check like chickens," Byrne laughed afterward.
