Lyng's Straight Tackles Mornhinweg
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Former NFL head coach Marty Mornhinweg, who won Super Bowl XXXI with the Green Bay Packers as Brett Favre’s quarterback coach, raised to 1,000 preflop from the cutoff. David Lyng called on the button.
The flop came J♥Q♦10♥. Mornhinweg bet 2,000, Lyng, the bigger stack, moved all in. Mornhinweg made the call with around 8,000 chips.
Marty Mornhinweg: A♥Q♥
David Lyng: K♦9♦
Mornhinweg had top pair, top kicker, a royal flush draw, and a gutshot draw to the nut straight to boot.
But Lyng had flopped a straight, and it held through turn and river bricks, 3♠5♣, to felt Mornhinweg.
