Jamshidi Flushed Away

Sirous Jamshidi limped from under the gun, a player in middle position followed suit, the small blind completed, and the big blind checked his option. The flop came down {j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and the action checked to Jamshidi who tossed out 775. Only the player in the big blind called.

Both players checked after the {7-Diamonds} turned, and the {3-Hearts} completed the board. The player in the big blind led for 1,425, and Jamshidi quickly called. The player opened up {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a king-high flush, and Jamshidi unhappily mucked his hand.

Musumeci Beat by a "Straight"

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante
Amanda Musumeci
Amanda Musumeci

Amanda Musumeci was nearly the last woman standing in the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event, finishing 62nd, and the Philadelphia native is in the field today. She's off to a rough start however.

In a recent hand, the board read {j-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. An elderly gentleman led out for 5,000, another player folded, and Musumeci made the call.

"Straight," the player said with confidence, turning over {10-Spades}{9-Spades}.

That's actually a flush for everybody scoring at home.

Musumeci gave a bit of a laugh before mucking her hand. She's now below the 10,000-chip mark.
