Dhooghe Wins Huge Pot on River

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We caught the action as Jordan Dhooghe and his opponent were all in and flipping their cards up after a flop of {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Dhooghe showed {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for an open ended straight draw, and his opponent was ecstatic the he held two of Dhooghe's outs, as he tabled {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. The turn came the {j-Hearts}, but the river was a brutal {8-Diamonds}, giving his opponent the set but Dhooghe the winning straight. Dhooghe spent two minutes stacking his newly won chips, and appears to be at around 35,000.
