Traniello Takes Down a (First Level) Monster

Marco Traniello was one of five players to a {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop. He bet out, and all four players called. The turn brought the {j-Clubs}, and Marco checked this time. After two more checks, one player stuck out the big bet, and everyone called again. The river was the {10-Diamonds}, putting three Broadway cards on the board and bricking all low draws. Again Marco and the two players behind him checked, and the fourth to act bet. Traniello raised, and only the bettor called. Marco turned over {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and scooped the 900-chip pot with the nut straight. Though it doesn't sound like much, with blinds at 25/50, 900 chips is quite a big one.
