The Chronicles of Rosen

We have a new chip leader, it appears. Jamie "The Chronic" Rosen raised from middle position, making it 500 to go. The cutoff and small blind players both called. The flop came down {10-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}. It checked to Rosen, and he bet out 1,050. The cutoff player moved all in for 3,650. In between, the small blind made the call, and it came back to Rosen, who re-raised all in himself, having the table covered. The small blind called once again, putting himself at risk, and the cards were turned over:

Small blind: {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}
Rosen: {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts}

The turn was the {4-Hearts} and the river brought a third diamond to give two players a flush. Rosen's was the better one, however, and he knocks off two players and vaults himself to the chip lead with 57,000.
