Raymer Shows a Straight
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Michael Sheets led out for 5,000 from the big blind on a completed board showing J♣9♣7♣8♠10♠, with 4,800 sitting in the middle of the table.
Greg Raymer took some time in early position before tossing out a raise to 15,000, and Sheets opted to make the call.
"I have a straight," announced Raymer while turning over K♥Q♦. That was good to claim the pot, as Sheets mucked his hand.
A short time earlier, David Fausey hit the rail when his ace-jack ran into pocket kings on a nearby table.
