Defending Champ Spikes on the River

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Todd Ritson limped into the pot from under the gun before the defending champion of this event, Danny Huynh, raised to 700 from the cutoff. Jarred Graham called from the button followed by Frank Koopmann in the small blind. Ritson called as well.

The flop came {6-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and the action checked to Huynh who continued for 1,000. Graham and Koopmann called. Ritson folded.

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds} and Koopmann checked. Huynh tossed out 5,000. Graham raised to 12,000. Koopmann folded.

"Is two pair good?" muttered Huynh to himself. "I have a gutshot too," he added with a laugh.

Graham laughed along mentioning that there had to be something else keeping him in.

"You want me to call?" asked Huynh.

"Of course. I have the best hand," added Graham with a smile.

Huynh knew he was behind but obliged with a call for his remaining 12,000.

Huynh: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Graham: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Graham had the lead with two pair against Huynh who had a pair and gutshot straight draw.

The dealer produced the {9-Diamonds} on the river to indeed give Huynh the straight and the winning hand.

"I'm back to my starting stack," acknowledged Graham with a smile, before both players shook hands, and continued playing on.
