Flopping the nuts is nice, but cracking it is nicer. When we got to the table, Nicholas Alan Maimone had bet 150K on the turn, and was getting check raised to 325K by Roberto Alberro. Maimone, having scored a seemingly dreamy turn, went all-in for a total turn bet of 759K. Alberro snap called, all too happy to get it in with the nuts.

A serious run out. Alberro got crippled, while Maimone, from a desperate situation on the flop, got an unlikely double-up.
