Messmer Backs Into a Flush

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Aaron Messmer
Aaron Messmer

Ruth Graham opened to 1,500 from early position and action folded around to Aaron Messmer, who called from the cutoff. Nate Zoller was on the button and came along as well, as did the big blind.

The four saw a flop of {j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Clubs} and the big blind checked. Graham made a continuation-bet of 2,000 and was called by both Messmer and Zoller. The big blind then folded and the turn came {5-Clubs}.

Graham fired again, betting 3,500. Messmer went into his statue-esque position for about 45 seconds and then put out a raise to 11,200. Zoller quickly got out of the way and Graham put in chips to call.

The river fell {9-Clubs} and Graham checked. Messmer put out a bet of 15,000 and Graham put in chips to call.

Messmer tabled {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flush and Graham mucked.

"No," said tablemate Pat Pineda upon seeing the hand. A few people chuckled a bit at the manner at which Messmer had filled up.

"Hell no," Pineda added as Messmer raked in his newly-acquired chips.
