Flopping the win.

We have a fun hand history early in Flight 1B from Phillip Chiero with blinds of 150/300. Facing a raise to 800 from under the gun, the cutoff calls, Chiero calls on the button with 78o, and the small blind comes along to see a flop four ways.

The flop is 7h7s8s. Under the gun checks, and the cutoff bets 2,200. Chiero calls with his full house and, to Chiero's delight, the small blind raises to 6,500. The cutoff and Chiero both call, bloating the pot to nearly 25,000.

The turn is a spade and Chiero gets all-in against the cutoff who holds the Ks6s and wins a huge pot, bringing his stack to over 80,000. He will come back from break at 200/400 with 200 big blinds.
