Roy "The Oracle" Winston opened the pot with a 12,000 raise from the cutoff and was met by a reraise from Dag Martin Mikkelsen, who bet the pot. Winston made the 40,000 call and the flop came {Q-Clubs}

.

Mikkelsen studied the flop for a moment before quietly announcing, "Pot." Winston made the call and revealed {Q-Spades}

for a king-high straight. Mikkelsen flipped over {Q-Diamonds}

.

The {A-Spades}

fell on the turn, giving Mikkelsen additional outs to a full house or quads, but the {5-Hearts}

on the river locked up the pot for Winston, who now has over 150,000 in chips.
