Well You Don't See That Very Often

We caught the action on the turn of a {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} board. Bob Whalen was in the small blind position with 3,000 chips in front of the betting line. A player in middle position had appeared to have called before the player in the hijack had moved all in for his final 16,100. Action was back on Whalen and he moved all in over the top. Amazingly, the other player in the hand called and the hands were turned up.

Whalen had flopped a strait flush with the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and had his opponents, who held {k-}{q-} and {k-}{j-} for full houses, drawing dead.
