There's was a ton of commotion over at table 72 in the orange section just a brief moment ago. We turned to the table to see three players all in. One player held {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

and another player held {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

. Both were terribly dominated by the third player's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Clubs}

.

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

, to give the player holding the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

the nut flush. That player was Ken McKusick out of Baltimore, Maryland and he now has nearly 120,000 chips.

To make things even more interesting, two players in the hand held jacks and another player held pocket sevens. Cold deck much?
