Nothing But the Nuts

A flop of {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} must have looked very dangerous to Todd Brunson after his 1,200 bet was raised by Peter Lee to 4,000. After some deliberation, Brunson reraised for the remainder of his chips. Lee quickly called and showed a set of jacks. Brunson turned over {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} for top pair with a gutshot draw to Broadway. The turn {3-Clubs} didn't help him but the river {10-Clubs} did, giving him the nuts.

After the hand, Brunson's stack jumped to 12,000. Lee was knocked down to 6,000.
