Turgeon Flops a Straight

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Three way action was picked up on the flop with 1,800 in the pot and a board of {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. The big blind led out for 1,000, got a call from the button, then Richard Turgeon raised to 2,000 from the small blind. Both opponents called.

On the {j-Spades} turn, Turgeon fired 1,500 and the big blind put in a raise to 5,000. The button got out of the way before Turgeon made the call.

Turgeon checked the {4-Hearts} river and his opponent fired another 5,000. Turgeon made the call. His opponent showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for trip jacks, but Turgeon turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} for the Broadway straight. Turgeon scooped the pot to build one of the bigger stacks in the room in these early stages of Day 1a.
