not having to sweat the river is the best feeling in poker

a close second is having the nuts on the river and being openshoved into, though in that spot you should call fast, so you don't get to savor the moment at all

on that hand, he gets to enjoy the river, the slight pause stars does when his monster is turned up before mucking his opponents cards, and praise from any donks at the table clearly amazed at the straight flush
