Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
With around 60,000 already in the pot and the flop showing 3♦K♦10♣, David Eldridge in the small blind checked, prompting Erik Nordstrand to bet the pot. Eldridge went all in, prompting a quick call of Nordstrand, leading to a showdown.
David Eldridge: A♥K♥J♣8♣
Erik Nordstrand: A♠A♣4♠2♦
Nordstrand was ahead with an overpair, but Eldridge had options for a straight and had top pair.
The 4♦ turn didn't improve Eldridge's hand, but the Q♦ river did, giving him a straight and a double-up, leaving Nordstrand with crumbs.
