Rich Otts

With a raise and a call in front of him, Rich Otts moved all in for 9,700. Ralph Marzan, one to his left, called. The player in the two seat, who from the looks of it had made the original raise moved all in for 21,400 more. It was folded back to Marzan who made the call with his big stack. The hands were turned over:

Otts: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Marzan: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
Player in Seat 2: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

"Nice call," said the player in seat 2 sarcastically to Marzan. The dealer put out a flop of {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} meaning there would be no free roll flushes. An ace or jack would end Otts's tournament but he would fade those cards on the {9-Spades} turn and {Q-Diamonds} river.

"Yes!" said a happy Otts as he more than tripled up to 35,500 in chips.
