Freeman Flops a Straight

Tyler Boyer

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with 13,200 in the pot, and the board showing 10?8?6?.

A player bet out 5,000, before another player raised all in for 18,300. A player in middle position folded, before Evan Freeman in the hijack made the call. The original bettor folded , leaving the players heads up.

All In Player: A?10? All in
Evan Freeman: 9?7?

Freeman flopped a flush and with neither player having a heart, the all in player would need running cards to stay in the tournament. The 3? on the turn meant the all in player could not win the pot outright, but could hit another heart to chop the pot. But the river was the K? and Freeman's straight was still best, to give him the pot and knockout his opponent.
