Am I Gunna Get There?

Myeah
Myeah

Pot Limit Omaha

Brent Hanks potted from the cutoff, making it 42,000, and John Monnette called in the big blind. The flop came down {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, Monnette checked, and Hanks went all in. Monnette snapped it off.

Hanks: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Monnette: {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

"Diamonds!" someone on Hanks' rail shouted.

"No," Hanks responded. "We want hearts."

They were both wrong, the turn was a club; the {k-Clubs}. Hanks could now make a straight or a flush to win the pot.

"Am I gunna hit this?" he asked his rail with a grin.

River - {q-Clubs}

"Mmmmmmmmmmyeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" his rail cheered.

"Straight flush," Hanks professed, pushed the {j-Clubs} and the {9-Clubs} from his hand to the board.

"That's the second-best hand you can get!" someone yelled.

Hanks' straight flush gave him the pot, and doubled him to over 250,000 chips.
