I know I would have.... Smile. That's the greatest feeling when you hit the staight flush and get someone to follow you.

Looks like he went all in with a straight/flush/straight flush draw.

He thought he had 12 outs. Little did he know a 10 of clubs spades or diamonds were actually of little help to him

I probably would have played the same way he did, I would have atleased reraised you, probably not all in but if I were put all in I would likely have called.
