Albrinck Cracks Top Set
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
With 240,000 in the middle, and a board reading 8♦9♦7♥A♥ Brad Albrinck checked his action in the hijack. Sean Rafael did the same from the cutoff, before Robert Chorlian announced a pot-sized bet from the button. Albrinck flatted, and Rafael check-potted it, putting himself all in for his final 570,000. Chorlian tank-folded, but Albrinck tank-called.
Sean Rafael: A♦A♠7♣3♦ 
Brad Albrinck: 6♥5♣4♠2♥
Albrinck had made a correct call with just the low end of the straight, and the river 10♦ secured him the pot. "You have better?" he asked Chorlian. Chorlian answered in the affirmative.
