One Robert Workman bet 6,000 from mid position, only for Johnny Carlton to make it 20,000 from the small blind. Workman then made it all in for 22,000 total, and Carlton called.

Carlton turned over {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

and Workman turned over the rather less premium {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

but poker can be a funny game, like so:

Board: {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

giving Workman the nut flush and giving Carlton nausea. Probably. "Sorry, that was bad. I got lucky," said Workman in what may be the understatement of the tournament so far.

Robert Workman is on 77,000.
