Kahle Burns

"Nolet20" raised it up to 50,000, and Kahle "ROFLshove" Burns called on the button. They went heads up to a flop of {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}, and both players checked. The {7-Clubs} turn saw "Nolet20" check call a bet of 110,055, and the river brought the {5-Hearts}. "Nolet20" checked a third time, and Burns went for a massive over bet of 547,668.

"Nolet20" thought for quite a while before he called, only to see Burns show {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for the nut straight.
