Zalpys Flushes Out a Player

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Marius Zalpys opened from early position and got two calls, one from middle position, and one from the small blind.

The flop was {4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, and the small blind open-shoved for 17,000, with Zalpys calling, and the other player getting out of the way.

Zalpys: {3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
All in player: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The turn was the {8-Clubs} that gave a big lead to Zalpys, and left his opponent drawing only to clubs, to make a bigger flush. The {q-Spades} was black but not the exact suit he wanted, and the Lithuanian player is rising more in the counts.
