Straight for Montgomery

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Action begun with a raise under the gun from Scott Montgomery to 4,500. Ahmed Taleb called in the cutoff, Donald Forshey called from the button, and Adam Swan defended his big blind.

The dealer spread a {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop and after Swan checked, Montgomery bet 9,000. Taleb and Forshey called, as Swan mucked.

The turn landed the {5-Diamonds} and Montgomery and Taleb both checked to Forshey who bet 22,000. Montgomery called, but Taleb folded.

The river fell the {8-Diamonds} and both players checked. Montgomery revealed his {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a straight, and Forshey mucked.
