"I'm Dead"

Greg Brooks raised to 1,800 from the cutoff and received calls from the button and big blind. The latter player then checked the {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, prompting Brooks to continuation bet 3,200. The button decided to put in a raise to 8,100, the big blind thought better of it, and Brooks made the call.

It was heads up to the {5-Spades} turn, which Brooks checked. The button bet pot, which took his entire stack of about 21,000. Brooks thought for awhile before splashing in a call. The button was more than happy to show {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for an ace-high flush.

"I'm dead," Brooks said as he flipped {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a straight. Brooks dropped to 45,000 after the hand.
