Witteles Smashes Opponent

From the hijack seat, Todd Witteles raised to 800. An opponent in the cutoff seat reraised to 2,100 and Witteles made the call when action got back to him.

The flop came down {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Witteles checked. His opponent bet 1,600 and then Witteles tanked for a little bit before raising to 4,000. After another minute passed, the other player moved all in for 23,150. About 15 seconds passed and then Witteles said, "I call."

Witteles held the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for top pair and the nut flush draw. His opponent held the {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a weaker flush draw and wasn't looking too good.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river the {7-Spades}, keeping Witteles in the lead and busting the other player. Witteles now has about 100,000 in chips.
