Roland de Wolfe Rewarded

From the cutoff Roland de Wolfe raised and the player in the big blind moved all in for 2,250. De Wolfe thought a good bit before making the call, and found that thought process had been sound--his {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades} were ahead of his opponent's {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}, and when a third duck didn't land on the felt de Wolfe took down a pot that boosted his stack to 20,500.
