How do you just check the nut flush on the river here?

[AceHigh Pino]

I know its a $3.30 MTT on Stars....but seriously how this guy played AK -- and in THIS position -- just amazes me.

wow maybe he didn't pause the porn

I don't know. Would you say the same for him if he was the dealer. I know with that many callers you can potentially have two other aces in the pot. I had AK on the chip and called it down. Was scared of a two pair taking the pot but the payout took someone out of the tournament and had an A10 bet down to the river for about 1/3 his stack.
