Big Stack Poker by Moore

All five players saw a flop of {2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and three of the players checked over to Charles "Woody" Moore, who bet 22,000. Joel Merwick, who was sitting directly to Moore's right, made the call and then checked the {2-Spades} on the turn. Moore followed suit as the {J-Spades} appeared on the river.

This is where things got interesting. Merwick put out a reasonable bet of 60,000 only to have Moore immediately announce that he was all in. Merwick, who had over 500,000 behind, was put to the test for his tournament life. "Wow," he said as he looked at Moore. Merwick tanked for a solid three minutes before saying, "I have such a big hand right here. I've got a monster. I flopped a flush."

After another couple of minutes Merwick called the clock on himself, which more often than not signals a fold. Sure enough, Merwick tossed his cards in the muck about halfway through the countdown. Moore revealed the {J-Diamonds} as he slid his cards to the dealer and scooped the pot.
