Elder Gets Maximum Value

The flop read {3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and Rupert Elder was first to act from the small blind, and he opted to bet out 600. The big blind made the call and Jimmy Fricke folded in late position released.

The {6-Spades} on the turn saw another bet from Elder, this time for 1,350. The big blind again barely hesitated and made the call. The dealer then unleashed the {a-Diamonds} on the river, prompting a bet of 3,600 from Elder this time. The big blind measured out the call and paused to ponder a bit, but eventually threw the chips in the middle.

Elder flipped over {A-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for the nut flush and the big blind mucked his cards.
