Mason Flushes Botta

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Ash Mason opened to 2,600 from the cut off before Daniel Botta raised it up to 5,000 from the small blind. Mason made the call before the dealer spread out the {4-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Spades} flop.

Botta threw out a continuation bet of 5,000 before Mason made it 12,500 to go. Botta didn’t hesitate, reaching for his chip stack and throwing out 25,000 in chips. Mason went into the tank for over a minute, before opting to move all in for an additional 25,800. Botta was taken back by the shove, and tanked over his decision. He finally made the call and both players tabled their cards.

Botta: {5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Mason: {7-Spades}{8-Spades}

Mason had flopped a flush and had Botta drawing dead as the meaningless {k-Spades} and {k-Hearts} ran out on the board.
