McNurlan:
"Give me a nine!" shouted one half of the supporters thronging the final table.
"One time!" shouted the other half.
The flop brought howls of delight from McNurlan's side: for two pair. They held over the turn, but the river brought a fourth diamond, the making a flush with one of Mash's nines.
