Anticlimataments

The pulse of the room gets a jolt each time we experience an all-in-and-call situation, but the one we're about to tell you about was very anticlimactic.

Action folded around to Wayne Carlson in the small blind who completed the bet and Leo Boxell checked his option in the big.

Both players checked the {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} flop, which sent the action to the turn -- {4-Spades} -- where Carlson checked, Boxell bet 150,000 and Carlson called.

5th Street delivered the {3-Hearts} and Carlson checked to Boxell who bet 200,000. Carlson then raised to 400,000 and Boxell responded with a reraise of his own, kicking it up another 500,000. Carlson raised right back, pumping another 500,000 into the pot which prompted Boxell to move all in. Carlson snap-called and turned over {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for the nut straight. Boxell then revealed his own version of the nuts -- {7-Hearts}{6-Spades} and the two chopped the pot.

"Mine were suited," Carlson joked.
