Varnell's Straight is Good

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

With a substantial pot of about 65,000 already in the middle and the completed board reading {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, Craig Varnell was in the small blind and heads-up against Ben Tollerene in the big blind. Varnell checked, Tollerene bet 35,000, and Varnell called. He announced "straight" and tabled {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Tollerene mucked and Varnell took the chips.
