Alm Picks Up Some Chips

In a three-way limped pot, each of Kenneth Terrell (the small blind), Richard Alm (the big blind) and Trevor Donaldson (the button checked on a flop of {Q-Spades} {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds}. When the turn came {J-Diamonds}, Alm fired out for 100,000. Donaldson was the only caller.

The river fell {6-Hearts}. Alm bet 250,000, leaving himself only 150,000 behind. Donaldson tanked for a minute, then said, "Alright, I'll give it to you buddy. I've got a jack." He surrendered his hand, allowing Alm to win the pot.
