Mehmood's Straight is Good
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
After two checks from the blinds on the 7♥8♥K♣ flop, Michael Rodrigues bet 1,500 from under the gun. Omar Mehmood called from the small blind, and Tommy Le called from the big blind.
The J♣ revealed itself on the turn, prompting Mehmood to lead out for 7,500. Le folded, but Rodrigues called.
Two checks followed the 9♠ river, and Mehmood turned over A♣10♦9♥8♣ for a straight to win the pot.
