The flop came down all diamonds -- {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

. Jessop fired out a continuation bet of 800 that Romano raised to 1,800. Jessop pondered his action briefly before calling.

On the {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

turn, Jessop checked it over to Romano, who bet 4,000. Jessop was clearly unhappy as he tanked for about a minute. When he finally folded, he mucked his hand face-up, showing {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

. Romano obliged by showing {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

for the nut flush.

Jessop has 9,500 remaining chips.
