Dolan's Straight Flush Draw Gets No Where

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
John Dolan's monster favorite resulted in a chop pot.
John Dolan's monster favorite resulted in a chop pot.

We found five players going to a flop of {7-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}. 2010 November Niner John Dolan led out with 1,600, Daniel Biddle raised to 3,7000 and the three other players folded. Dolan called and the turn came {5-Spades}, which prompted him to bet 6,550. Biddle raised to 3,700, Dolan re-raised to 6,550 and Biddle four-bet to 13,000. Dolan wanted none of it and five-bet shoved and got a call.

Dolan: {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}
Biddle: {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Dolan's two pair and straight flush draw looked to be a lock to win the hand until the river produced the {3-Hearts} putting a straight on the board. They chopped the pot and Biddle used one of his nine lives.
