"I Enjoy Straights"

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Ryan Hopp
Ryan Hopp

Ben Keeline opened to 2,700 in the cutoff and Ryan Hopp re-jammed for 16,700 on the button. Action folded back to Keeline and he looked up Hopp.

Ryan Hopp: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Ben Keeline: {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Keeline's call was the correct one but the flop {7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} gave him more outs to fade despite flopping flush- and open-ended straight draws of his own. His six paired on the turn {6-Hearts}, giving Hopp a straight that remained best as the river {5-Hearts} completed the runout.

"Straights. I enjoy straights," said Hopp as the runout finished, leaving his hand best. His stack was counted and confirmed and the double was sent his way.
