Simsek Gets a Small Glimmer of Hope on the River
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Stanislau Melhui raised to 10,500 on the button and Burak Simsek reraised to 38,000 in the small blind. Melhui called and the flop came Q♦9♠3♦.
Simsek then bet 85,000, Melhui moved all in, and Simsek snap-called for around 30,000 more.
Burak Simsek: A♦A♥K♠Q♠ 
Stanislau Melhui: A♠Q♣J♠9♥
Melhui had flopped two pair to take the lead over Simsek's aces as the 6♠ fell on the turn. The river was the 5♠ and Simsek clapped his hands together in celebration after hitting a flush, but Melhui pointed out he had the nut flush to send Simsek to the rail.
