Straight On The Board

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Preflop, Al Riccobono raised it up from middle position, and William Soffin on the button put his last few chips in to call the bet. Justin Pechie in the big blind also called and they all saw the {7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop. Pechie checked, Riccobono bet, and Pechie called.

The turn came {8-Hearts} and again, Pechie checked, Riccobono bet, and Pechie called.

The river came {6-Spades} to put a straight on the board and both players checked. Riccobono showed {9-}{9-} for the flopped nut set, but which now was just him playing the board. Pechie was also playing the board with {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, but the all in Soffin had {10-}{q-} in his hand to give him a higher straight than the board and he doubled.

Pechie still has around 105,000 at the five handed table and Riccobono has around 45,000
