Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing 5♥7♦K♦.
After the flop Greg Raymer in the small blind check-called a bet of 7,000 from Wes Snow in under the gun position.
Both players checked the J♠ on the turn, which brought the 9♥ on the river. Raymer then bet out 20,000, before Snow moved all in for Raymer's stack of roughly 90,000, which Raymer snap called.
Snow turned over Q♣10♠ for the nut straight, and Raymer in disbelief showed 8♣6♣ for a lower straight. Raymer then wrote a personalized message and signed a Fossil for Snow before heading to the exit.
