Armano Hits Better Flush
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The board read K♥Q♦9♦ before the cutoff bet 8,000 on the flop.
The button shoved for 12,500 in response, and Domenico Armano of No Limit Pub Poker Tour and Eastern Poker Tour also shoved from the small blind.
The cutoff folded as the button and Armano went to a showdown.
Opponent: 10♦8♦
Domenico Armano: A♦4♦.
Armano had the better flush draw, but his opponent still had outs to a straight and pair outs.
The 7♥ turn did not change the standings, and the 6♦ river upgraded both players to a flush, but Armano had the best of it with an ace high flush.
