The Chips Go Straight to Larsen

On an {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop Allan Larsen bet 700 and Istvan Pap made the call. After both players had cautiously checked the {Q-Diamonds} turn, Pap came out firing on the {8-Clubs} river, to the tune of 1,000.

A quick glance at his opponent, then at his chips, and Larsen reached out for a raise, a total of 2,375. He then rest his hand over his mouth and wore an expression that I can only desrcribe as someone with a bad hangover trying desperately not to vomit.

With his opponent remaining as still as water, Pap hesitated before finally making the call and tabling {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. It wasn't good enough, though, as Larsen had rivered a straight with {10-Spades}{9-Spades} to lap up the pot.
