Why Was Six Afraid of Seven?
Brunson fired out a bet himself that was raised by the player behind him. Brunson was the only caller to a river. He checked and then raised a bet. His opponent called, saying "I have a straight." He opened .
Brunson showed for a turned set of queens. He was confused; the dealer was confused; and Brunson's opponent was waiting for the pot. As the dealer double-checked the hand, he told Brunson's opponent, "You have nothing."
"I have a straight!" the player protested. "Five, six, seven, nine... oh wait."
The pot was pushed to Brunson, increasing his count to 29,500.
