Straight for Whittinghill

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

There was over 2500 in the pot on the board that read 7♦A♣6♦9♠ when John Pointer elected to bet 3,000 from the cutoff and was check-raised by Jeffrey Whittinghill to 7,500 from the small blind position. Pointer opted to call to send them to a river.

Whittinghill did not slow down on the J♣ river, and bet 10,000. Pointer went into the tank and assessed his opponent and the board before he decided to put in two red chips for the call.

Whittinghill showed 10♠8♠ for a straight as Pointer mucked his hand.
