Damn Lot of Good That Does Me Now

On a flop of {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Tom Schneider bet 2,000, and Cory Zeidman raised all in for a total of 12,725. Schneider took his time deciding how to proceed.

After a while, he asked Zeidman, "What would you like me to do?" Zeidman didn't answer. Finally, Schneider made the call, showing {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for bottom set. Zeidman tabled {A-Spades}{J-Spades} for the nut flush draw.

The {5-Spades} fell on the turn, giving Zeidman his flush. The {9-Clubs} was no help to Schneider, and Zeidman took it.

"I wanted you to fold," said Zeidman after the hand was over, answering Schneider's question too late for it to have been of use. He's up to 34,000, while Schneider has slipped to 7,000.
