Joe McKeehen limped for 400,000, and David Greufe checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came 10h7d4d, Greufe checked, McKeehen bet 600,000, and Greufe check-raised to 1,700,000. McKeehen called.

The turn card was the Jd, Greufe bet 2,200,000, and McKeehen thought for a while before he called.

Greufe showed 8c6c for a jack-high straight, and McKeehen won the pot to doubl up into the chip lead.
