Davies Flops a Straight But Folds the River

Seth Davies opened to 5,000 first to act and Steven Cairns called in the cutoff. On the button, Tsugunari Toma three-bet to 17,000 and both opponents called.

On the 9♠8♦5♥ flop, Davies checked before Cairns opted to lead for 35,000. Toma called on the button before Davies check-raised to 95,000. Cairns folded while Toma put in the call.

Davies led for 45,000 on the 7♠ turn and Toma put in the call.

On the 10♥ river, Davies blocked for 30,000 before Toma put in a raise to 210,000. Davies immediately sat back in his chair in pain.

"I flopped a straight but that's a bad river," lamented Davies.

Davies would then fold 7♥6♥ face up.

"I really thought I was going to win a big one," Davies continued.
