The UTG player raised to 3,600 pre-flop, Sully Erna (of Godsmack fame) called from middle position, the cutoff called and Matt Brady called from the button. The flop was {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

{8-Spades}

. UTG bet 7,200, and crying out "I need this pot!" Erna moved all in for 23,000. The cutoff moved all in behind him for 40,000, Brady folded, and UTG mucked {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

face-up. Erna turned up {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

for top pair, while the cutoff tabled {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

for middle set. Erna would need a miracle to survive... and he got it with the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

on the turn and the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

on the river, making him a runner-runner straight to win the pot.

Erna was up to 72,000 after the hand.
