Carmody Rivers Straight

Jacob Naquin opened to 46,000 only to have Matthew Carmody move all in from the small blind. Naquin made the call as the cards were placed on their backs.

Naquin: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Carmody: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The flop of {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} kept Carmody in the lead until the {A-Diamonds} landed on the turn. Still needing any ten, eight or five to stay alive, Carmody would see the {5-Hearts} slapped on the river to ensure his double to 1,500,000 as Naquin dived down to 3,450,000 in chips.
