Straight Over Straight

With around 550,000 in the pot and a board reading {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Justin Truesdell checked from the small blind and Andrew Nguyen bet 285,000 from te big. Truesdell made a quick call and watched as Nguyen confidently turned over {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for a wheel.

"Oh, I have a straight," Truesdell said and revealed {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for an eight-high straight. Nguyen seemed a bit surprised that his opponent had him beat.

"Wow, that could have been a big pot," Lowery pointed out.
