Yahtzee! for Hicks
Eric Hicks has been one of the bright personalities of this year's Main Event and once again he provided some excitement for those around him. Hicks raised to 11,000 from the hijack and the button three-bet to 27,500. The action was back on Hicks who made the call as the flop came 
.
Hicks checked to his opponent who continued for 25,500. Hicks check-raised to 120,000 and his opponent went into the tank for a couple of minutes. He eventually moved all in for around 275,000 and Hicks groaned but still made the call. The button flipped over 
for two pair while Hicks held 
for top pair and a flush draw.
The turn was the 
and Hicks jumped for joy. "Yahtzee!" he screamed, but there was still one card to come. The river was the 
and the nut flush for Hicks sent his opponent to the rail. "What took you so long with ace-ten?" he asked as his opponent walked away.
