Halking Straight Good Enough
Level 9
: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With at least 40,000 chips in the middle, Michael Halking was in the under-the-gun position and he was facing a bet of 18,000 from the cutoff. The board read 
and he called.
When the 
fell on the river, it slowed things down considerably, Halking checked and his opponent checked back.
Halking tabled 
for a turned straight, while his opponents 
top two pair, was not good enough to take the pot.
