Straight Flush > Ace-High Flush

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

When we reached the table, the board read {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Scott Carpenter was all in. His opponent was standing up and mulling the decision over.

"I know I'm supposed to fold," he professed. "But am I good enough to fold?"

The player tanked for a little longer, muttering an obscenity here and there, before finally calling and tabling the {a-Clubs}. Carpenter rolled over {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a straight flush and his opponent high-tailed towards the exit.

The river was a meaningless {6-Spades} and the pot was shipped to Carpenter.

"I've never had a straight flush in my life," he gushed as he stacked his newfound chips.
