Wolfe Huffs and Puffs, Blows The House Down

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

With the flop reading {K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Spades}, a player bet 10,900 from under-the-gun and Steve Wolfe made the call from the button. The turn card came {10-Hearts} and the UTG player again led out, this time for 20,000 even. Wolfe came along and the river fell {2-Spades}.

Wolfe's opponent slowed down on the river and checked the action, only to see Wolfe announce "Pot" and push his stack forward. This bet was large enough to force the UTG player all-in and he eventually decided to make the call. Wolfe instantly showed his {7-Hearts}{A-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a rivered nut flush and his opponent dejectedly stood up to depart the tournament area.

We missed the exact cards held by the other player, but according to Wolfe, he showed down {K-Spades}{J-}{Q-Spades}{6-} for a flopped two pair and the second nut flush. This massive score catapults Wolfe to nearly 200,000 in chips as the bustouts continue to mount here on Day 2.
