Spinks Rivers Flush Against Kihara

No-Limit Hold'em

Gus Hansen started off the action with a raise to 1,300 and Jon Spinks called in the cutoff. Newly crowned World Series of Poker bracelet winner Naoya Kihara, who won the $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha 6-max, called from the big blind giving us three-way action on the flop.

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and Kihara lead out for 2,200. Hansen played a little with his chips, before casually tossing in the call. Spinks called as well, and the turn was the {A-Spades}.

Kihara wasn't done with the hand as he fired out another 6,200, getting Hansen to let go of his hand right away. Spinks grabbed the chips necessary for the call, and that gave us river action.

The river was the {J-Diamonds} and Kihara checked to Spinks who quickly bet 16,800. Kihara didn't seem too happy, but he made the call. Spinks turned over {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and took down this big pot with a flush. Kihara mucked his cards, but he still has more chips than Spinks.
