Straight Flush Sends Two to the Rail
Maurizio Giuseppucci limped from early position, and action folded to Gary Fisher in the hijack, who raised to 2,000. Andrei Trubchyk called from the small blind, and when the action came back to Giuseppucci, he shoved all in for his remaining 5,800. Both opponents called.
On the 4♦8♦5♦ flop, Trubchyk checked, and Fisher bet 500. Trubchyk then raised to 2,500, only for Fisher to three-bet to 4,500. Trubchyk responded by moving all in for around 16,000, and Fisher snap-called, sending the cards on their backs.
Giuseppucci showed 8♠8♣ for a set of eights, while Trubchyk tabled K♦Q♦ for a flopped flush. But Fisher had them both crushed as he revealed 7♦6♦ for a flopped straight flush, drawing gasps and laughter from the table.
The board completed with the 2♠ and K♠, sending both Giuseppucci and Trubchyk to the rail. “What are the odds?” Fisher said with a grin. “I’ve never seen something like that,” he added while stacking his new gained chips.
