Ewing Turns a Straight and gets Paid
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Action folded to the button who limped in for 600. The small blind called, Eric Ewing checked in the big blind, and the players went three-way to a flop of K?8?7?.
The flop was checked around to the player on the button who bet 1,300. The small blind folded and Ewing made the call.
The J? turn was once again checked to the button who bet again, this time for 3,300. Ewing check-raised to 10,300. His opponent asked how much he had left before going all in. Ewing immediately called and was at risk.
Eric Ewing: 10?9?
Button: K?J?
Both players had improved on the turn but Ewing was well ahead with his straight against his opponent's two-pair. The river changed nothing for either player and Ewing collected a sizeable pot.
