Straight on the River

I joined the action with the board reading {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Sorel Mizzi betting from the button. His opponent called. The turn came the {A-Diamonds}, and Mizzi found his bet of 800 check-raised to 1,600. He paused momentarily before making the call.

On the {4-Diamonds} river, Mizzi's opponent bet out and Mizzi threw in some chips, his opponent not realising it was a raise and subsequently revealing his {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} prematurely.

In the end, the faux-pas made little difference to the pot, as he made the call anyway, only for Mizzi to take the pot with {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for the rivered straight.

Mizzi now on circa 17,500 whilst his defeated foe is left with 1,100.
