Diamonds in the VIP

The action folded to Phong "VIP" Nguyen, who raised to 4,000 from the small blind. The player in the big blind moved all in - having Nguyen well covered - and Nguyen went into the tank.

"I hope we're flipping," Nguyen said, tossing the rest of his chips forward.

He wasn't.

Showdown

Nguyen{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent{a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The dealer burned one card then fanned {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

"WOW!!!" Nguyen exclaimed.

The {4-Diamonds} on the turn gave Nguyen the nut-flush, ending the hand, and a meaningless deuce fell on the river to complete the board. Nguyen was fortunate, and doubled to 68,000 chips.
