Didier Doing It Early
We noticed that Didier Guerin was sitting behind a stack of around 130,000 and wondered how he got so many chips after starting the day with just over 50,000. The young Australian poker player was more than happy to fill us in.
Apparently Guerin was under the gun plus one when he raised to 1,600 holding 
after the under the gun limped. The small blind player called and so too did the under the gun. Guerin then described the 
flop as "practically the nuts" for his hand. The small blind led for 3,200 here and the under the gun folded. Guerin then raised it up to 10,500 and it was back on the small blind who "splashed" around 20,000 in the pot - which was most of the player's stack. Guerin instantly shoved his stack of 60,000 here and his opponent called for his remaining stack.

Guerin's opponent held a pair of tens, but the 
turn gave Guerin the flush and by the time the 
completed the board on the river, Guerin was raking in the huge pot.
