Everyone checked the ![]()
![]()
flop, and a
turned. After a check, Kottwitz bet 3,000 and got two calls. The

We found Rich Dixon shoving all in against two opponents out of the big blind after a ![]()

Jason Gole bet 3,800 on the end with the board reading ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
. His opponent in the cutoff announced all in, and he had about 18,000 total. Gole immediately called.
"You have the ace?" the cutoff asked, fearing the worst as he tabled ![]()
for the second nuts.
Indeed, Gole showed ![]()
for the better flush, and he stacked his unfortunate opponent.
