Porter Turning the Screws

[user66118]

We picked up the action on fifth street as Rep Porter called a bet from Stephen Su. He called another one on sixth street, and the boards looked like this going to the river.

Porter: (X)(X) / {5-} {4-} {k-} {8-} / (X)
Su: (X)(X) / {10-} {4-} {a-} {7-} / (X)

On seventh street, Su stacked out a bet and then checked. Porter squeezed. And squeezed. And squeezed some more. The dealer made an indication that action was on him, and he looked up from the squeeze to smirk. "I know," he said. "I haven't found my little card yet." After another moment, he verbally checked behind by announcing, "I got an eight."

Porter showed up {j-} {7-} {a-} / {5-} {4-} {k-} {8-} , and the eight was good.
