Cassidy's Straight

From early position, Joe Cassidy raised to 1,000. He got a call from a player in middle position, the small blind and then Jordan Smith in the big blind. The four of them took a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} and action checked around before the dealer placed the {7-Spades} out on the turn. The small blind checked and Smith bet 2,400. Cassidy made the call while the other two players folded.

The river was the {8-Spades} and completed the board. Smith opted to check. Cassidy looked at the board, then down at his stack and then fired 4,500. Smith thought it over for a minute and then made the call. Cassidy rolled over the {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a jack-high straight. Smith couldn't beat it and mucked his hand.
