Nothing Subtil About That Four-Flush

[user66118]

We walked up to table 11 to see a preflop all in with Paulino Subtil's remaining 10,900 chips piled in front of him. He had been called down by an opponent with a covering stack, and Subtil's plight was not a good one:

Subtil: {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

Opponent:

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

The at-risk player was standing from his chair and backing his way toward the door at the sight of the two black aces. The news would get better by the time the river rolled around, though. The dealer ran out a board of {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

. Four hearts plus the queen of hearts equals a flush and a double up for Subtil.
