"Nothing Like Flopping the Nuts"
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Greg Baird opened for 15,000 from early position only to have reigning MSPT Player of the Year Pat Steele min-raise to 30,000. Action folded back to Baird, who made the call, and the flop came down 
. Baird checked and Steele paused for a beat before moving all in. Baird snap-called off for 134,000.
Baird: 
Steele: 
"Wow, nice hand," Steele said. "Nothing like flopping the nuts."
Indeed, Baird had flopped the nut flush and Steele was drawing dead. The meaningless 
was put out on the turn followed by the 
on the river, and Baird was shipped the double.
