Fortin Sportin' Big Stack

A player on the button open-raised to 1,200, Patrick Fortin reraised to 5,000 from the big blind, and the button pushed all in with to 10,000 total. Fortin called.

Fortin had {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} to his opponent's {A-Spades}{10-Spades}. The flop was {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Fortin was still ahead. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, and now he was behind. But the {8-Diamonds} on the river gave Fortin the straight and knocked out his opponent.

Fortin is currently at the top of the chip counts with 125,000.
