Casey Kuhn Storms Back Up

The board read {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} and Casey Kuhn had bet 1,800. After a little thought, his opponent raised to 7,300. Kuhn seemed unfazed, re-raising to 18,000. His opponent immediately went all in for 28,000 and Kuhn sighed, "You must have flopped the flush", before making the call.

Indeed, his opponent tabled {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} and had Kuhn's {K-Hearts} {7-Hearts} drawing thin. That all changed when the {K-Clubs} landed on the turn to make a full house for Kuhn. His opponent quietly stood up and headed to the rail as the meaningless {8-Spades} fell on the river.

After the hand, one player at the table noted that the eliminated player had not played a hand in two hours.

With the win, Kuhn has chipped back up to 90,000.
