Bhanks It In

The board read {8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Brent Hanks checked to his opponent who resided on the button. The button then bet out 6,200, and was raised by Hanks who made it 13,500. After about 30 seconds a call was made and both players were off to the river.

After the {6-Diamonds} landed to complete the board Hanks announced "all in" and moved his 44,600 chips in the middle. The button possessed more chips and wouldn't be at risk, but a loss would cause him to lose a substantial chunk of his stack. After about a minute or two the button let it go and Hanks was awarded the pot.
