The board read {q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and action was checked to Scott Cole who bet 2,000 into a pot that was 3,350. The under-the-gun opponent check-raised pot which was 9,350 and Cole thought for a moment before deciding to jam the rest of his stack all in.

His opponent made the call for his remaining 24,000 and both players then revealed their hands. Cole tabled {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for a pair of kings and a flush draw, His opponent tabled {8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for top set.
