Davis Rivers a Gutshot

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Facing a 2,500 from early position, Shaun Davis called in the big blind.

Davis check-called a 2,500 bet on the {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. Both players then checked the {q-Hearts} turn.

The action checked through on the {9-Diamonds} river, and Davis showed {10-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a rivered straight. His opponent mucked {a-Spades}{q-Spades} face-up, and Davis complemented the early position player's decision to check the river.
