Alex Ivarsson raised to 37,000 from under the gun, and Clayton Newman, sitting to his left, made the call. The blinds folded, and the flop came {Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Ivarsson bet 55,000, and after a pause Newman called.

The turn was the {6-Spades}, completing a possible flush. Ivarsson sat quietly for several moments, riffling a stack of orange 5000 chips. Then he pushed his entire remaining stack -- around 600,000 -- in front of him. Newman quickly folded.

Ivarsson is up to 780,000, and Newman now has 480,000.
