The Croc Takes a Hit

[user57954]

Billy "The Croc" Argyros

On a flop of {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

Billy "The Croc", Charles Cuschieri and a third opponent got their money into the middle:

Croc: {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

Cuschieri: {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

Opponent:

{J-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

The Croc held the lead with the nut straight and flush draw, but had to avoid a lot of cards as one opponent had a set of jacks while Cuschieri had bigger straight and flush draws.

The turn is the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

and river

{5-Hearts}

and Cuschieri makes the nut flush to scoop a pot worth 15,000. The Croc takes a hit but still collects a side pot as the third player is eliminated.
