"Straight's Good"

We just caught the tail end of this pot, but here's what we could see. With a bit more than 25,000 in the pot and the board showing {10-Hearts} {6-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}, Lucasz Plichta led out with a smallish bet of 10,000. After some deep consideration, his lone opponent Vitaly Tolokonnikov stacked out a raise to 45,000 and slid it forward. Plichta didn't take too long to mull it over before making the call.

"Straight," said Tolokonnikov, turning over {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}... which makes a straight flush. It's not clear whether or not he ever realized what he was showing down as Plichta mucked and he quietly raked in the pot without any reaction whatsoever. "Straight's good," said someone at the far end of the felt with a slight chuckle.
