Todd Crosswell defended his big blind from Tim Burden, who opened to 1,100 from the hijack.
The flop came 2♠K♣9♣. "Watch this," said Burden as he bet 2,100.
"You got a flush draw?" asked Crosswell, making the call.
"Ha!" laughed Burden. "A flush draw!"
The turn came J♥, and Crosswell called another 2,100-chip bet. "You'll call on anything!" exclaimed Burden.
"Flush draw," replied Crosswell.
A 5♣ hit the river, and both players checked. Burden showed Q♥J♦, and his pair took down the pot as Crosswell flashed the 9♦ as he mucked.
"We call him 'The Milk Man'", said another player at the table while pointing to Burden.

The river came J♥. This time it was Switzer showing aggression, betting 3,000. Cantore called.
