Park Sweats Against a Five of Diamonds and Soars to 400K
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
We caught up with a hand after the flop came 
with about 20,000 in chips in the middle. Aleksei Smirnov check-called a bet from Johannes Park.
Smirnov then led out for 30,000 after the 
appeared on the turn and Park tanked for a minute before he called.
The 
put four diamonds on the board plus the chance for a straight flush. Smirnov thought before he bet 70,000 with about 65,000 behind.
Park then went into the tank for a few minutes before he called. Park looked relieved when Smirnov turned over 
for the king-high flush and then quickly turned over 
for a slightly better ace-high flush.
A player asked what he was thinking about saying that he had the nuts and not seeing the straight-flush possibility.
"Not great on the five," said Park.
