One and done

Last night, I had an awesome hand straight out of the gate; I was dealt the king and eight of spades, and flopped a flush. I slow played it for one street, then bet the pot on the turn and got one caller. I wasn't happy to see a fourth spade pop on the river, but knew I could only lose to one card (the ace of spades) and that it was pretty unlikely my caller had been gambling to hit the nut flush. When he bet $5K on the river, I just called; there was no sense raising there, since there was already sufficient money in the pot and why risk that he had the ace? I won a pot worth $48,100; $27,200 of it was other people's money (mostly the caller's). I called it a night without hesitation.

delta: $27,200
balance: $871,838
