Big Tex: BROWN'S STRAIGHT SURVIVES BAHLS' FLUSH DRAW IN DRAMATIC RIVER CALL!
The action heated up on a 6♥9♦J♦5♣ board when Michael Bahls bet 200K - half his remaining stack. Jerry Brown turned up the pressure with a raise to 500K, putting Bahls to a decision for his tournament life. After a long tank, Bahls made the call and discovered the bad news: Brown: 8♣7♣ for a turned straight Bahls: A♦3♦ for the nut flush draw "I need a diamond," Bahls announced, but the J♣ river crushed those hopes
