Arul Thillai and the Eight of Diamonds

Gary Benson raised 1,600 from the cut off. Arul Thillai re-raised from the button to 4,500. Benson re-raised to 10,500. Thillai called. The flop was {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Benson checked and Thillai went into the tank for a couple of minutes. He carefully counted out his chips before he bet 18,000 and left a little more than 3,000 behind. Benson tanked before he folded. Just as the dealer beagn to push the pot to Thillai, he flashed the {8-Diamonds}.

"The eight of diamonds? Did you see that? Sick!" shouted Emad Tahtouh.
