My Cousin Vinny

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Vinny Lingham raised in the small blind and Nicholas Seward called in the big blind.

The flop of 3AQ checked through and Lingham bet 50,000 on the 2 turn. Seward called.

Both players then checked on the 5 river as Lingham showed A2, good for the nut flush and two pair to win the pot.
