Tolbert Saved by the River

John Tolbert checked a {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop, and a player in middle position bet 2,300. The third player in the hand flat called, and with the action back on him, Tolber check-raised to 7,000. The original bettor called, and the other player got out of the way. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn completed a flush draw, and Tolbert bet out 10,000. His opponent moved all in, and Tolbert called for his remaining 52,900. Tolbert was up against {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for the jack-high flush. And Tolbert's hand was a surprise to all - {4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. His pair of fours was no good. Until the {4-Hearts} on the river, that his. With his miracle full house, Tolbert moved up to 135,000. Sometimes, bad reads (or clairvoyance) really pay off.
