Two Straights, One Winner
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
This hand was picked up on the river of a board that read 10♥4♠3♦9♦5♣ with over 30,000 in the pot.
Richard Sharon bet 13,000 before Brett Murray went all-in. Santos Cruz Diaz also went all-in, and Sharon folded to let Murray and Diaz go to a showdown with Diaz at risk.
Diaz had a straight with A♥2♥, but much to his disappointment, it was Murray who had the nuts with 7♦6♦ for a higher straight as the river was a spark plug that ignited a clash on the river.
