Traylor's Flush Finds Action

We arrived at the table and found a flop of {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} with about 6,500 in the pot. Three players were in the hand, including Michael Traylor and Joel Merwick. All three checked to bring the {7-Diamonds} turn card and once again, they all checked. It was when the {9-Hearts} river fell that things started to pick up.

Traylor, first to act, bet 3,000. Merwick, took about 30 seconds before popping it to 13,000. The third player in the hand called, giving Traylor a befuddled look on his face. He threw in 10,000 to call and announced, "Flush," showing {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Merwick mucked and the other player in the hand was clearly annoyed when he flashed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}, watching the pot head to Traylor.
