The Postman Delivers

After over 30 minutes of play, our first big pot finally arrived with Dash Dudley raising to 110,000 from the hijack and Gabe Costner making the call in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}, and with his hands clenched in front of his jaw in true Phil Hellmuth style, Costner checked. Dash was less hospitable, however, and made a continuation bet of 140,000, which Costner called.

On the {7-Hearts} turn, both players checked, leading to a {7-Spades} river where Costner turned aggressor by sliding 350,000 across the felt. As Dudley mulled over his options, Costner remained as cool as the other side of the pillow and it was tough to know if he wanted a call or not. In the end, we found our answer as Dudley matched the bet, only to be shown {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for "the second nut flush", as the announcer correctly observed.
