Relief at Chop for Reyes

Level 2 : 100/300, 300 ante

Ricardo Reyes and Steven Storwick got into a preflop raising war, the last bet of which was a hefty 8,000 from Reyes on the button. Storwick, in early position, made the call and the two men saw a flop of {3-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. Storwick checked, but Reyes bet another 8,000, Storwick raised to 25,000 and just like that, full starting stacks were in the middle as Reyes jammed and Storwick called. The flop action in total took approximately eight seconds.

Reyes: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Storwick: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

A quick check for clubs brought Storwick the bad news: Reyes had the nut flush draw and two cards to hit it. The turn and river were the safe {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}, however, and Storwick could breathe again.

“Oh, sweet! Thank God!” he exclaimed.
