Derek Hammonds

One player called and action went over to Derek Hammonds on the button who raised to 3,500 which was called by only the initial caller.

The flop of {10-Spades}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts} was checked through to the turn of {6-Spades} which saw action check to Hammonds who bet 5,000 and was called by his opponent.

The river came out {3-Spades} and the opponent checked once more to Hammonds who bet 13,000. The opponent responded by moving all-in for 63,000 which Hammonds snap-called. Hammonds turned over {q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a rivered flush and the other player left the tournament area as Hammonds moved to over 200,000 in chips.
