Clint Schafer Flops a Straight, Lee Childs Rivers a Higher Straight

Shortly before the break, with the board showing {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{K-Hearts} on the turn, Clint Schafer checks, Lee Childs bets 50,000, and Schafer calls. The river card is the {9-Spades}, and both players check.

Schafer says, "I flopped a straight," and shows {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for the jack-high straight. But Childs says, "I rivered a straight," and shows {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} for the king-high straight. Childs wins the pot, increasing his stack to about 400,000. Schafer drops down to about 946,000.
