Jason Vanstrom was all in for about 23,000 from the small blind when we arrived at his table on a {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop. A player who had put in 1,600 folded from middle position, while another player who had a red T5,000 chip in front of him called.

Vanstrom: {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Vanstrom was miles ahead but got a major sweat when a {k-Clubs} turn gave his opponent a flush draw. The {2-Diamonds} river was a safe blank, and Vanstrom collected all but the last 2,175 from his opponent. The rest of that went in the pot preflop on the very next hand, and Vanstrom called with {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, live cards against {a-Spades}{j-Spades}. He flopped a nine and held on.
