Big O

Lyle Berman had a bet of 35,600 in front of him in the cutoff on a board of {7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Jon Turner had 5,000 in front of him and thought a couple of minutes before making the call in the big blind. On the {7-Spades} river, both players checked.

"Straight," Berman announced, throwing {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} onto the felt.

"It's good," Turner said.

"You're a tricky bastard, Lyle," someone said.

"Would you like to know the truth?" Berman said. "I had no idea I had a straight. I knew I had hearts."

Counts and a Hand from Table 714

Level 12 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Roland Israelashvili opened for 7,400 in second position, and Mike Matusow made it 25,500 from the small blind. After tanking about two minutes, Israelashvili called. On the {6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{k-Hearts} flop, Matusow checked. Israelashvili bet 28,000 or so, and Matusow tanked awhile.

"I beat two jacks," he said.

After another 30 seconds or so, he folded, then said he actually had two tens.
