{4-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

flop and then called the all-in bet of his opponent for 3,400 chips. Black was ahead with {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{4-Spades}

against his opponent's {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

. Unfortunately for Black, the turn and river came {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

and

{A-Diamonds}

to make a 5-high straight for both players.

Black remains alive with 5,800 chips.
