I won a pot of almost $700 playing $1-$3 at Hawaiian Gardens Casino in Los Angeles a few years ago. I bought in for $100, and at the time of the hand, was up to almost $300. I get A-6 suited (diamonds) and raised it to $15 preflop after two limpers joined the fray. Dude to my left calls, BB calls, and the two limpers call, which was typical for this table. The reason I did a 5xBB raise was to try to winnow the field pre-flop, but it didn't work. After the rake, there was about $70 in the pot.
The flop comes out JD-9D-4C, giving me the nut flush draw. BB and UTG+1 check, but next dude bets $25. I call. The dude to my left folds. The BB calls as does UTG+1. So now there is about $170 in the pot with four players.
The turn is the 10D. I have the nut flush, but there are straight flush possibilities out there. BB bets $25 again, UTG+1 shoves his last $46 into the pot. The next dude, who has me covered, calls. I shove all-in for about $260. BB, who has around $160, calls and it goes back to the dude who has me covered. He thinks long and hard before folding. Since everybody was now all-in, he showed the Queen of Diamonds.
The BB turns over his King high flush (he had K-5 diamonds). UTG+1 shows an 8D (had open-ended straight flush draw) and I flip over the Ace high flush. The turn was the 2 of Diamonds. I thought for sure one of them would have a set and I would have to avoid a paired board on the river, but both of them were chasing straight flushes.
Needless to say my hands were shaking as I scooped up those chips.
