Two Pros Tangle

[user22113]

Michael Binger has just taken a big pot off Prahlad Friedman. Here's how it happened:

We caught up with the action on the turn, Michael having checked to Prahlad and now facing his 7,000 bet. The board showed {5-Diamonds}

.

Michael eventually called the bet and when the river came {6-Hearts}

he led out with a 15,000 bet. Prahlad went into the tank for a good five minutes, asking the dealer to spread the pot for him. After staring at the 28,000 in the middle of the table for another few minutes he made the call.

Michael announced "straight" and showed {9-Hearts}
