In A Van Down By The River

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Facing a 2,500-chip bet on an {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, Dennis Durante shipped it in.

The bettor called with the bottom end of the straight holding {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and was ahead against Durante's {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} combo draw.

The {7-Spades} turn didn't change a thing, but the {6-Hearts} river did, making Durante the higher straight. He got up to leave, but was welcomed back to a stack worth twice what he started with.
