Straight flush on the river beats the nut flush on the turn
It’s the first round of a typical ULBPC tourney. “rsnbrgr” was crippled a few hands earlier when he pushed all in pre-flop with pocket aces and got called by “Patotana” with an ace-muck that nailed trips. On this hand, “rsnbrgr” is playing multiple tables and has overlooked the fact he only has 80 chips left at this table; he stupidly limps from middle position with pocket fives.
Big stack “ICE17600″ bullies the table with a raise to 6xBB. “monkeybamaw” calls it. “rsnbrgr” finally realizes his stupidity and is forced to call all in because he’s getting 2:1 (albeit vs. two opponents).The flop gives “rsnbrgr” an inside straight draw; his opponents check. The turn completes his straight — but it brings a third heart, giving him a horrible flush draw that almost any other flush will beat. On the bright side: “rsnbrgr” also gains a straight flush draw.
The turn card hands “ICE17600″ the nut flush and he bets nearly three times the pot against “monkeybamaw,” who instantly folds. But the river saves “rsnbrgr” with a runner-runner straight flush. He claims a paltry 270 chips in the main pot to triple up…
