The Mayor Spikes One-Outter to Make Straight Flush

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Four players including 'Mayor' Mike Rellinger paid 3,500 to see a {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop. Then things escalated. Very quickly.

A string of bets had Rellinger and another player all-in and at risk with some massive hands.

Mike Rellinger: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Both Rellinger and one of his opponents had flush draws though Rellinger also had outs to a straight while up against a pair of aces.

As luck would have it and for extreme dramatic effect, the {9-Clubs} peeled off on the turn giving Rellinger a straight flush and guaranteeing the pot. The {8-Spades} finalized the board and Rellinger was paid the near triple up sending one opponent to the rail.
