Prendiville Flops the Joint

[user140525]

The flop fell a coordinated {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} . When the big blind checked to him, Sean Prendiville bet 1,800. Another player raised to 6,800, and then the big blind check-raised them both to 16,000. No worries for Prendiville. He four-bet shoved for around 66,000. The player behind him called all in, and the big blind tank-folded. Prendiville turned over {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for the nut straight, and his opponent wasn't looking too good with {8-Spades} {4-Spades} for a lower straight with no flush redraw. The {j-Clubs} turn and {k-Diamonds} river didn't save the all-in player with a chop. Instead, he hit the rail and Prendiville hit the top of the chip counts. He's up to 145,000, making him one of the biggest stacks in the Rio.
