Already having siphoned around 20,000 chips from his table in Level 2, Alan Surtees just won another tidy pot playing from the big blind. Threeway to a flop, Surtees checked, an early position player bet 1,200, and the button called. Surtees then check-raised to 3,200, called by the original bettor alone. The turn brought the and Surtees check-called a bet of 4,100. On the 
river, Surtees checked once more, but called his opponent's 5,700 bet immediately, showing down 
for the nut flush. His opponent mucked.
