Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Anthony Aston has just taken a big hit to his stack, while Peter Dykes has moved his up above 50,000. If it’s any consolation for Aston, he still has over 50,000 as well despite losing the following hand.
Picking up the action from the 
flop, there was more than 7,000 in the middle Aston was busy leading out for 5,500. Dykes raised it up to 13,500 and Aston moved all in, with Dykes having 24,975 behind. Dykes called and the cards were turned over.
Aston held 
for a flush draw and was in terrible shape against Dykes’ 
.
The 
turn gave Dykes the nut flush and left Aston drawing dead.
