Straight Flush Will Do

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante

We arrived at the table with the flop showing {9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

One player had bet out 5,000 and was met with a raise to 15,000 from Kava Faalogo which had him covered.

Faalogo sat there patiently as his opponent deliberated over the call for several minutes. Eventually another player on the table called time and the tournament director was called over to start the minute countdown.

The bet was finally called and the players tabled their cards.

Faalogo: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Faalogo had flopped a flush and was in great shape to eliminate his opponent who had made two pair. The {j-Clubs} on the turn cemented Faalogo the pot with an unbeatable straight flush as the {k-Spades} on the river only worsened the blow for the other player involved who improved to a full house.
