Flush Dreams Go Down the Drain
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
The pot was around 4,000 when the flop came K♣8♣6♠. Toru Ida opened the action from early position with a bet of 1,500. Sokratis Linaras, seated next to him, shoved his last 5,600 into the middle, prompting a snap-call from Pedro Bartolome. When the action returned to Ida, he also made the call.
The Q♥ on the turn and the K♥ on the river were checked through by all players, setting up the showdown. Ida revealed A♣7♣ for a missed flush draw and ace-high. Linaras, risking his tournament life, had 4♣2♣ for a flush draw as well. Bartolome, holding Q♣5♣, not only had a flush draw but also paired his queen on the turn, taking down the pot and sending Linaras out of the tournament.
