In a four-way hand with about 33,000 already in the pot before the flop, Lee Watkinson moves all in for 32,100 more. Well, almost all in. He still has the 100 chip he had been using as a card cap. Tim Phan thinks for a while and then folds, the next player calls, and the fourth player folds. Since Watkinson still has a single chip, no cards are shown.

The flop comes {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

, and Phan reacts with disgust, as if he threw away what would now be a great hand. But Watkinson and his opponent check it all the way down, and the last two cards are {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

. Watkinson shows {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

, and his opponent shrugs and shows {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

. Watkinson takes the entire 97,000 pot.
