A player in late position raised to 4,000 only to see a three-bet come from Zachary McDiarmid on the button in the amount of 12,000. Ryan Leng wasted no time in jamming from the big blind for 17,000, getting a quick fold from the late position player before McDiarmid made the call to set up a runout with Leng at risk.
Ryan Leng: 8?8?
Button: Q?Q?
The 9?A?10? flop left Leng needing help as he said, "Seven", already starting to call for the runner-runner straight.
The turn brought the 6?, bringing in the straight draw for Leng who said, "Yeah, seven" with a laugh before watching as the 7? peeled off on the river, completing the straight and stealing the pot away from the queens of McDiarmid.
