Zhu Makes Straight Flush
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
With the board reading 
Shengchao Zhu bet 1,525 only for Steffen Endres raise to 7,500. Zhu thought briefly and moved all in with Endres making a quick call.
Endres: 
for the nut-flush draw
Zhu: 
for the open-ended straight flush draw
Neither player had a made hand but Endres was still ahead and around a 60% favourite against Zhu's big draw. The 
on the turn changed things, giving Zhu a straight and now Patzner needed a heart to eliminate his opponent.
The river was a heart, but it wasn't the one the German player wanted to see - the 
. This gave Zhu a straight flush and he doubled up to 50,000.
