Elder Gets Raised on Two Streets

On a flop of {10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades} there was a check to Rupert Elder who bet out 1,200. The player on the button made it 2,600 to go and the first player folded. Elder called and the turn brought the {6-Spades}.

Elder checked to the raiser and he checked right behind. Elder then bet out 9,200 when the {3-Clubs} came on fifth street.

Elder's opponent made it 20,000 to go and Elder went into the tank.

"I should have just checked," Elder said with a chuckle. "It would have been a lot cheaper."

Another thirty seconds passed.

"I thought you just had a jack or something," continued Elder. "Ah well."

Elder tossed out a call. His opponent showed {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for a straight made on the river.

"Wow. That works," said Elder as he mucked his hand. Elder is currently sitting on 22,600 after that hit.
