With the board showing 8h5h4s9d7c on the river and about 600K already in the pot, Raul Hernandez bet 400,000, leaving himself about 350K behind.

Andrew Moreno tanked for a while before he called from the hijack, and Hernandez said “Straight,” as he turned over his 6d4d for a nine-high straight.

Moreno mucked, and Hernandez won the pot.
