Lackovic Makes Straight-Flush!

Petar Lackovic does it in style with a straight-flush!
Petar Lackovic does it in style with a straight-flush!
Petar Lackovic moved all in preflop for his last 22,600 from the cutoff with {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and was called by a player on the button who tabled {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. A classic race -- nothing strange there.

However when then first four community cards were spread {5-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} there were a few murmurs around the table as dealer burned a card a prepared the river.

Eric Assadourian called for the {Q-Diamonds}, and wouldn't you know it, the {Q-Diamonds} fell on the river. The button player thought he'd won the pot with his ace-high flush but Lackovic had made a queen-high straight flush to collect the pot in sensational fashion!

After a chip count it was discovered that Lackovic just covered his opponent, sending him to the rail, as Lackovic now stacks up over 50,000 chips and eyes off a day two berth.
