William Murray limped from under the gun, the button limped, Cody Golden completed the small blind, and Mimi Luu checked her option in the big blind.
On the K♠9♥7♠ flop, the action checked to Murray who bet 1,100. The button folded and Golden called. Luu then raised to 7,000 which earned a fold from Murray after some deliberation. Golden called off his remaining 6,000 or so and the hands were tabled.
Cody Golden: J♠5♠
Mimi Luu: J♥10♦
Luu had a gutshot against the flush draw of Golden, and neither player had a pair. The 10♣ turn gave Luu the lead until the 8♥ river gave both players a jack-high straight and the pot was chopped.
