"You Had to Sweat Just to Chop"
With about 6,000 in the pot and a board reading 
with two spades, a middle-position player checked, Traci Brown bet 4,000, and the player on the button folded. The MP player then woke up with a check-raise to 10,000, Brown moved all in, and MP snap-called.
Showdown
| Brown |   |
| MP |   |
Both players had the nut straight, but MP held a flush redraw. Brown was clearly nervous, but much to her relief, the 
blanked on the river.
"You had to sweat just to chop," one of the players at her table laughed.
