Kevinov Turns a Straight Flush
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Nicholas Scott raised to 40,000 from the button. Kevin Kevinov, in the small blind, called, and Darko Vracevic, in the big blind, three-bet jammed for 143,000. Both players called.
With action pending on the side, the dealer dealt the J♠8♠8♥ flop, which checked through to the 9♠ on the turn. Kevinov took the lead for 125,000, and Scott folded.
Darko Vracevic: A♠8♦
Kevin Kevinov: 10♠7♠
Vracevic's trip eights with the nut flush redraw were headed straight for the muck as Kevinov already had him dead, having turned a straight flush. The 7♣ river saw Vracevic make his exit.
