Big Blind Special

The player sitting UTG+1 raised, Amir Vahedi called from the cutoff, and the BB called as well. The flop came single-suited -- {4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. The BB checked, the original raiser bet, Vahedi raised, and both called. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and all three checked.

The river was yet another diamond: {9-Diamonds}. It checked to Vahedi who pushed out the two blue chips for a bet of 200, the BB quickly called, and after some deliberation the UTG+1 player called as well.

"I play the board," said Vahedi with a shrug. The BB turned over {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, and the third player mucked. Vahedi flashed K-10 (no diamonds, obviously) to his neighbor before tossing his cards. He has about 8,700 at the moment.
