We caught up to find the board reading and Matt Affleck heads up in a pot. Affleck's opponent bet 2,350 and Affleck pondered his action for roughly thirty seconds before flat calling.
The board paired with the on the river and Affleck's opponent moved his entire stack all in. Affleck shook his head and slapped his cards into the muck.
"You lay down a flush?" asked someone from across the table.
Affleck nodded and looked down to riffle his chips as the pot was pushed to his opponent.
We were not on hand to catch exactly how the hand played out and the exact details were hard to gather with several players attempting to recap the hand at the same time, but here is what we can gather went down:
After a series of bets and raises involving four players before the flop, one player eventually five-bet shoved all in before the flop. Justin Leeson called this bet and Gavin Smith and a fourth player at the table got out of the way.
Leeson:
Opponent:
The fourth player told the table that he folded pocket nines and was kicking himself after the flop came down . Leeson, however, was celebrating as he flopped a full house and was ultimately able to score a knockout and almost double his starting stack. He's currently sitting on 38,000.
Gavin Smith raised to 250 from early position and was called by the players on the button and the big blind. The flop was and all three players tapped the table to see the hit on fourth street. The big blind checked once more and Smith tossed out 400. The player on the button stayed in while the big blind folded.
The two saw the completed the board. Both players checked their option one last time.
"Ace-high," said Smith's opponent.
Smith rolled over for the best ace-high and he was able to scoop up this pot.
Jeff Blenkarn opened with a raise to 250 and was called by the cutoff, the button, and the small blind.
The flop came and it checked around to the button who bet 450. His only caller was Blenkarn and the two players saw the hit the turn. They both checked to see the fall on the river. Blenkarn wasted no time leading for 650 and his opponent called. Blenkarn showed for flopped trips and took down the pot.
