Affleck's Stack Straightened Out

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught up with the action on a {6-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} board. Matt Affleck fired a 700 bet and was called by his lone opponent from the cutoff.

The {8-Spades} river completed the board and Affleck bet 2,500, which was enough to put his opponent all in. His opponent immediately called. Affleck tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a flopped set, but was a little shocked to hear his opponent announce, "Straight," and flip over the {7-Clubs}{5-Spades} for the rivered straight.

Affleck is back down to 5,700.
