I'm Robert Williamson III, I Am

Robert Williamson III and another player got it all in on the flop, with the board showing {3-Spades} {8-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. Williamson bet the pot, and his opponent raised all in. Williamson made the call, turning over {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {7-Spades}. His opponent held a very similar {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {2-Clubs}.

The turn card made both men their straights, as the {6-Clubs} peeled off. The river card made a better straight, but only for Williamson this time. It was the {Q-Diamonds}, and it ran him up to queen-high with his straight, winning him a pot worth over 40,000 chips.
