There was a substantial pot already brewing and the board read {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} when we got to the table. Sean Winter, one of the recent late entries, had checked from the big blind and Ben Tollerene bet from the button. Winter check-raised pot to 59,850, Tollerene jammed, and Winter called to put himself at risk.

Sean Winter: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Ben Tollerene: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

"You're ahead, but I think I'm going to be playing these two by the end," said Tollerene as he gestured to the {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} half of his tabled hand. The {K-Clubs} on the turn kept winter in the lead, but the {6-Hearts} river gave Tollerene the nut flush to take the pot and stack Winter. He immediately re-entered and is now sitting with a fresh stack.
