Alberto Morales Flores Takes a Multi-Way Pot with a Straight on the Board

Level 5: 300 / 600 ante: 600

Akhilendra Singh limps from middle position for 600, and Yita Choong raises from middle position to 2,500. Kristopher Rundquist calls from the small blind, Alberto Morales Flores calls from the big blind, and Singh also calls.


All four players check to the turn on a board of 7♥ 6♣ 3♥ 5♠ , and Rundquist bets 2,200. Flores and Singh both call, and Choong folds.


The river card is the 4â™  , putting a seven-high straight on the board with no flush possibilities. Rundquist thinks for a while before he checks, and Flores bets 9,000. Singh and Rundquist both fold, and Flores takes the pot.


(We'll never know if he had an eight in his hand.)
