Poker is Easy -- Flop the Nuts and Get Paid

Jason Riesenberg has catapaulted himself to the top of the leaderboard. With about 130,000 in chips to start the hand, he got involved in a raising war with another player on a {6-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds} flop. By the time it was over, all of the chips were in the middle. Riesenberg tabled {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} for top set; his opponent showed {3-Hearts} {3-Clubs}. The case three was nowhere to be found when the turn and river came {5-Spades} {J-Hearts}.

Riesenberg now has 265,000 in chips.
