We pick up the action on a flop showing {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

. It was heads up in a raised pot, and the hijack seat put out a bet of 13,000. Phong Huynh made the call, and the turn card brought the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

. The hijack now moved all in for a total of 44,300. Huynh went deep into the tank before finally calling with {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

. It wasn't a great call; his opponent tabled the leading {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

. To Huynh's delight though, the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

peeled off on the river to fill in his come-from-behind straight and send his opponent to the exit.

Huynh is up to about 170,000 now.
