A Dramatic All-In

Tony Bromham and George Palavos just got tangled up together in a big pot.

The flop showed {6-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}, and Bromham led out for 6,500 chips. Palavos moved all in, and Bromham paused for a minute to consider his options. He had Palavos slightly covered, and decided to make the call, showing down {5-Hearts} {5-Spades}. He was ahead, but Palavos' {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} was the best drawing hand.

The turn was a money card. The {5-Diamonds} fell, making Palavos a flush, but giving Bromham a full house. Left drawing to just one out, Palavos needed to find the {7-Diamonds} to fill his straight flush. The river was low and red, but the {3-Hearts} was useless to him. Bromham's hand held up, and George Palavos is eliminated from the field.
