Calden Rivers a Straight
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Six players went to a flop of 8♠3♦4♥ when a player in middle position bet 1,200 and was called by Gene Calden in the cutoff and another opponent in the hijack.
All three players checked the 4♣ turn before action checked to Calden on the 7♠ river. He tossed out 2,000 and only the cutoff called.
Calden turned over 6♦5♦ for the rivered straight to win the pot.
"If you played every hand against me you would be the chip leader," Calden's defeated opponent joked with him following the hand.
