What made it hard
Senor Tilt made a ten-high straight on the turn and check-raised Keating's bet to $200,000, and Keating called. The river paired the sixes and put a third diamond on the board. The straight still beat two pair, three sixes and any smaller straight, but it now lost to a flush, a full house or four sixes. Senor Tilt checked and Keating bet $425,000, almost the size of the pot. Nobody else was in the hand, and calling meant putting $425,000 into a pot of $875,000.
