On a three-way raised pot, around 21,000 chips were already in the middle.
The flop was showing 
when the player in the small blind checked. Terry Presley, chip leader of the table, with a stack worth around 400,000, bet 15,000 and it was called by the player on the button. The small blind announced all-in for a big stack worth 290,000, putting Presley into deep thinking.
"It would be crazy to lay down this hand," said Presley a few times, before sending a few chips in the middle for the call. The whole table stood up to look at the following showdown after the button folded:
Terry Presley:
His opponent: 
Presley had the flush and the straight draw while his opponent held two pair. The 
on the turn brought more outs to Presley and the 
hit the river, giving him the flush to eliminate his opponent and claim a massive chip lead with a stack now around 600,000.
