Hunting the Elusive White Whalen

An early-position player opened for 800 and received a call from Bob Whalen on the button. When the flop fell {2-Spades}{K-Hearts}{K-Spades}, the early-position player bet 1,150, Whalen called, and the {2-Diamonds} was put out on the turn. Both players checked, as they did on the {9-Diamonds} river, and Whalen rolled over {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. It was good as his opponent mucked.
