After a player opened the pot with A-8, and a second player flat-called with A-K, Dennis Huntly moved all in with Q-T in an attempt to push both of them out of the pot. The player with A-K made the call and Huntly would need some help on the board. The flop was 9-8-5, giving Huntly a gutshot straight draw, and the J on the turn filled it, making him the nuts. He's now up to 26,000 in chips.
