With the board showing Club JHeart 9Club 8Club Q on the turn and more than 20K already in the pot, Mike Watkins (pictured) is all in from the small blind for 22,100 with Diamond JClub 10 for a queen-high straight with a gutshot straight-flush draw, but he’s behind the Diamond KHeart 10 (king-high straight) of Hunter Pappas, who is UTG+1. Watkins needs a king to stay alive with a chop or the nine of clubs to double up.

The river card is — the Club 9!

Watkins rivers a queen-high straight flush to win the pot and double up in chips.

Mike Watkins  –  68,000  (170 bb)
Hunter Pappas  –  26,000  (65 bb)
