Kalicka Hits a Straight, Almost Triples Up
Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Jeffrey Kalicka: 
/ 
Jeff Lisandro: 
/ 
Robert Ferdinand: / 
Jeff Lisandro led out to the pot that initially featured five players. Two of them gave up on fourth but Jeffrey Kalicka and Robert Ferdinand called.
Lisandro hit a third Broadway card on fifth and continued betting and Kalicka opted to raise. Ferdinand wasn't going anyway and Lisandro called as well. They called another bet on sixth and Kalicka then checked the river where he had only 4,200 left.
"Straight," he announced and quickly reshuffled his seven-card hand in a ranking order to show his rivals a nine-high straight. Ferdinand and Lisandro both mucked and Kalicka significantly improved his stack.
