Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
James Priest raised to 2,500 in early position and was called by the player on the button and the player in the big blind.
The trio saw a flop of 6♠7♦J♠ and it checked to Priest, who bet 3,000. Both of his opponents continued to the 10♣ turn.
It checked to Priest again and he fired out a bet of 8,500. Only the button called and the river fell the 9♥, bringing four cards to a straight.
Priest slowed down with a check and the button slid out a bet of 6,000. Priest made the call and tabled J♦10♦ for two pair, jacks and tens.
"Had the world and everything in it, just couldn't hit it," said the button as he showed Q♠9♠.
