A Big Pot Pushes Alvin Zeidenfeld Past Six Figures

After a 3,000 raise from a player in mid-position Alvin Zeidenfeld chose to call. After a {3-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} flop the raiser bet 5,000 and Zeidenfeld called. He also called a 10,000 bet when the {4-Clubs} came on the turn. But when the {6-Diamonds} came on the river and he faced another 10,000 bet, Zeidenfeld came over the top and moved all in and his opponent called for another 30,000. Alvin turned over {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} for the flush and when his opponent mucked, Zeidenfeld's stack rocketed up to 157,000.
