Better Lucky Than Good

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Lee Markholt and Derrick Rosenbarger would get all the chips in the middle on a {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop and Rosenbarger had to like his position since at the time he had the nuts with {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} for flopped top set. He couldn't count his chips yet, however, as Markholt had {J-Clubs}[8] for a flush draw.

The turn was the {9-Spades} giving Markholt even more ways to knock out Rosenbarger and one of those ways was delivered to him by the dealer on the {10-Diamonds} river giving him a straight. That was enough to send the unfortunate Rosenbarger off to the rail.
