Mag Botros had a bet of 7,500 in front of him in the hijack on a {2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop and was facing a check-raise to 29,000 from big blind Joey Weissman. Botros slid in a stack of T5,000 chips that made it 77,500, most of his total chip stack. Weissman wasted little time before moving all in.

"All right," said Botros after about 30 seconds, sliding his remaining 50,000 or so in.

Weissman: {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Botros: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Botros was in awful shape with only one live immediate out, but the {9-Diamonds} brought a backdoor flush possibility. The {a-Diamonds} filled the flush, and Botros shouted in celebration. Weissman barely reacted to the beat, counting out 124,400 and sending it over with a "nice hand."
