Flush Draws All Around
Action was joined as Hendrik Kwiatkowski, Mike Alonso, and Matthew Micallef were competing for a pot that already had 5,700 in the middle.
The flop 3♠2♠2♥ saw Alonso bet 2,200 from the small blind before Hendrik Kwiatkowski moved all in for 7,500 from the big blind. The action was then on Matthew Micallef, who also moved in, for 36,900. After a moment's thought, Alonso made the call.
Remarkably, all three players revealed they had a flush draw, with none of them having a pair.
Hendrik Kwiatkowski: Q♠4♠ 
Matthew Micallef: 10♠8♠
Mike Alonso: A♠9♠
Alonso was ahead and had both players at risk, but the 8♦ turn shifted the balance in favour of Micallef.
The river K♣ didn't change the outcome, and as Micallef pulled in the pot, Alonso rued what could have been, whilst Kwiatkowski headed to the exit.
