Justin Arnwine

Picking up the action on a flop of {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} and roughly 20,000 already in the middle, the big blind checked over to Justin Arnwine, who put in a 6,000 bet. His opponent called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the big blind checked to Arnwine once again, who put in a bet of 15,000. His opponent check-raised all-in for 43,000 and Arnwine couldn't call fast enough when he snapped the chips in and tabled his hand.

Big blind: {k-}{q-}
Justin Arnwine: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

Arnwine had turned the nut straight and had his opponent drawing dead with top pair. The river was the {q-Clubs} , improving the opponent to two pair, but not good enough to beat the straight and he was sent to the rail.
