The flop came 
, and all three players checked to the

Dwek and Zhou both folded, and the decision was now on Meyers. After counting out his stack, he check-raised all in for a total of 2,525,000. Pham asked for a count and then called.
Meyers stood up and tabled 
for the nut flush draw, while Pham showed 
for the second-nut flush.

"That was a good dinner, man," yelled one of his supporters.
"We gonna eat tacos soon!" exclaimed Pham.
