Cassidy Flops the Straight
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Action picked up on the turn with roughly 8,000 in the pot in a hand between Paul Cassidy in the big blind, the player in the small blind, and the player on the button.
With the board reading J♠8♣9♣2♥, it checked around to the button who bet 6,000. The small blind called and Cassidy raised to 25,000.
The button went into the tank for a couple minutes before eventually arriving at a fold. The small blind then moved all in, putting Cassidy at risk, who had roughly 20,000 behind. Cassidy quickly called.
Paul Cassidy: Q♣10♣ 
Small blind: 9♠5♦
Cassidy's flopped straight had his opponent drawing dead and the meaningless 8♦ fell on the river. Cassidy scooped the sizable pot and doubled up.
