With the board showing Diamond JClub 5Spade 2Diamond 8 on the turn and about 30K already in the pot, WPT Champions Club member Ben Palmer moves all in from the big blind for 29,000, and Jeff Trudeau calls from middle position with Spade JClub J for a set of jacks.

Palmer turns over Diamond 6Diamond 5 for a diamond flush draw with a (now useless) pair of fives. Palmer needs a diamond that doesn’t pair the board to stay alive.

The river card is the Diamond 4, and Palmer completes his flush to win the pot and double up in chips.

Ben Palmer  –  90,000  (18 bb)
Jeff Trudeau  –  545,000  (109 bb)
