[user196676]

With the flop reading {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts} , Kyle Cartwright was heads up in the pot with Craig Bergeron. Cartwright bet 450 only to find Bergeron push out a raise, making it 2,100. Cartwright called and the turn brought the {J-Hearts} . Cartwright checked and Bergeron slowed down, checking as well.

The river came {K-Clubs} and Cartwright put 6,200 in the middle. Bergeron sat riffling chips for a moment and then asked Cartwright how much he had left. Cartwright counted out roughly 33,000 and showed it to Bergeron. Bergeron announced "All in" but before he could even get out his last syllable, Cartwright yelled "Call!" and stood up, tabling {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} for a straight flush.

Bergeron calmly waited for the chips to be counted, learned that Cartwright had him covered, and finally shook his head solemnly as he walked toward the exit. Cartwright, on the other hand, now has a substantial chip lead.
