Gross vs. DeWitt

On a flop of {8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}, Steve Gross checked and allowed Jason DeWitt to bet 24,000. Gross then check-raised all in for about 104,000 and DeWitt tank-called.

Gross: {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
DeWitt: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Gross was ahead with his pair of queens but needed to sweat DeWitt's open-ended straight draw. The {2-Hearts} turn changed nothing, living just the river. Being so close to the money, you could tell Gross breathed a sigh of relief when the {5-Hearts} blanked, allowing him to double up.
