Graells' Straight Rivers into a Flush
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Three players brewed a pot of about 38,000 on the J♦9♥8♠10♦ turn, and both Ricardo Graells and Alexander van der Swaluw checked to Salvino Belhoul as he fired a bet of 8,500. Graells thought about it for about 15 seconds before making the call, and van der Swaluw instantly folded.
The 8♦ completed the board on the river, and both players tapped the table. Graells rolled over A♦Q♦, which was a straight to the queen on the turn, improving to a flush. Belhoul showed his Q♣ in disgust as he tossed his other card face down toward the dealer.
