[user67765]

On a flop of {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

Amarillo Slim led out with the opening bet from the big blind and a player in late position raised it up. Slim made the call.

They saw a turn of {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

and again Slim led out, was raised, and made the call.

The river landed the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

and the players slowed down and both checked their hands. Slim held {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

for a lowly two pair but it was good for the high as his opponent showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

for a flopped top pair plus nut flush draw combo that ended up collecting the low.

Slim is hanging in there with 3,200 in chips.
