O'Kane OK

Lawrence O'Kane got involved threeway with a pot that threatened to become quite juicy - on the turn (board: {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {A-Hearts} ) O'Kane bet out from the small blind 1,200. Pascal Perrault in mid position made the call, as did the button.

The river brought another {A-Diamonds} . Now O'Kane checked. Perrault bet 1,200 now, and the button passed. O'Kane then raised to 4,200, and, grumbling about a straight, Perrault paid him off. He actually showed {A-Spades} {7-Hearts} for the house, while Perrault flipped {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} , tapped the table and conceded the pot, even though the dealer initially tried to give it to him.
