Limit Hold'em

Heads-up on a flop of 6♠9♣8♠, Scott Seiver bet from the cutoff and Michael Chow called in the hijack.

The turn came the 3♠ and Chow checked over to Seiver again, then called when Seiver bet.

Chow also checked the Q♦ river and this time Seiver checked behind. Chow turned over J♥10♥ for the rivered straight as he took the pot.

Henrik Hecklen is also seated at this table.
