"God, It Feels Like a Gift"

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Craig Casino opened to 900, and the button, small blind, and big blind all came along for a rainbow flop of {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

The blinds checked to Casino, who continued for 2,800. The button called, as did the small blind, and the big blind threw it away.

After the {8-Clubs} turn straightened out the board and added a flush draw, Casino took his time before tossing out 7,000. The button instantly folded, and the small blind called almost as quickly.

The {6-Hearts} river went check-check, and the small blind showed {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for king-high. Casino turned over his winning {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} and said, "How'd you miss that? God, it feels like a gift," referring to his opponent's flopped gutshot that became an open-ender on the turn.
