Nut Flush for Hunichen

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Big blind Rob Kuhn check-called a bet from cutoff Chris Hunichen on a board of {5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}{10-Spades}. The river was a {k-Clubs}, and Hunichen bet 150,000 when checked to. Kuhn thought only briefly before calling, and Hunichen turned over {a-Spades}{8-Spades} for an ace-high flush on the turn.

Cramer Doubles Through Jaffe

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Tim Cramer raised all in for 206,000 from under the gun and Jonathan Jaffe called from the hijack.

Tim Cramer: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Jonathan Jaffe: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The flop came down {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, giving both players sets.

"One more, please," asked Jaffe of the dealer.

The {2-Clubs} turn and {6-Spades} river completed the board, no help to Jaffe, locking up the double for Cramer with a set of queens.
