Rusnak Rolls With Flopped Straight

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Anthony Lee raised to 7,000 before the flop and Frank Rusnak shipped his last 19,000 into the middle. Lee made the call and Rusnak was at risk with his {7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Lee tabled the {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{A-Clubs} the dealer prepared to burn and turn

Flop: {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Rusnak hit the flop hard with his nut straight and the rainbow board left Lee drawing nearly dead. He would need to start paring board cards or hole cards to fill up and make a boat.

Turn: {2-Diamonds}
River: {Q-Hearts}

No pairs were forthcoming and Rusnak scored a much needed double-up to about 40,000.
