Falaschi Flops Flush

Preflop action between two players -- one in the big blind and Luca Falaschi on the button -- had created a pot of about 1,000 when the flop came a provocative {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. The big blind bet 1,000, then Falaschi raised to 3,100. The big blind then reraised to 6,200, prompting Falaschi to push all in for a total of 24,550.

Falaschi's opponent thought for a couple of minutes, then made the call, leaving himself about 15,000 behind. He turned over {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} for the overpair and nut flush draw. Falaschi tabled {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} -- he'd flopped the flush, and even had a straight flush draw to take away one of his opponent's possible outs.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, giving Falaschi's opponent other ways to take the hand away. But the river was the {5-Hearts}, and a relieved Falaschi pumped both fists. He now enjoys a stack of just over 49,000.
