Priddy Finds Not So Pretty River

Christopher Meza opened to 4,500 from UTG on blinds of 1,000/2,000/2,000 and action folded around to Shayne Priddy in the big blind. He defended.

The flop came K♣5♥3♥. Priddy check-called Meza's continuation of 5,000.

The turn was the 6♣ and action checked through.

The river brought action from both players with the 7♠. Priddy led out big for 20,000 into a pot of 22,000. Meza took his time before raising to 75,000.

Priddy called and saw the bad news. Meza tabled 9♠8♠ for the nut straight. Priddy shook his head as he paid Meza off and showed the 4♥ for a worse straight.

19 players remain in the ROE event. The money bubble looms.

Meza: +87,500
Priddy: -86,500
