Seagris Ain't Foldin' a Straight!

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With 6,500 in the middle, on a board reading {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, Gail Seagris checked from the big blind. Arthur W was on the button and bet 4,000. Seagris called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and Seagris led out for 5,000. Arthur min-raised to 10,000 and Seagris re-raised to 40,000. Arthur called.

The river was the {7-Diamonds}. Seagris checked and Arthur bet 40,000. Seagris agonized over the decision for a while but eventually called.

"You're good" said Arthur. Seagris immediately tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for the nut straight. "Yeah, I knew you had the straight" said Arthur as he mucked his cards face down.

Gregory Katayama raised to 1,700 and got calls from Imran Hussain in late position as well as Jason Machado in the small blind and Karam Saleh in the big blind.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and all four players checked to the {8-Diamonds} on the turn. Machado checked and Saleh bet 4,200. Katayama called and Hussein and Machado folded.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and Saleh bet 7,500 this time. Katayama quickly called and Saleh said "You got it" and sheepishly tabled {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for jack-high. Katayama showed {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for two nines and scooped up the pot.
