Flush Over Flush Goes Against Grasso, Naall Benefits
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Daniele Grasso raised from the early position to 17,000 and Ahmad Rami Naall called from the button.
They saw a flop of Q♥7♠4♠ where Grasso checked it over to Naall, who fired 17,000. Grasso then put in the check-raise to 54,000, and Naall called.
A J♠ on the turn completed the front door flush draw and Grasso bet out 69,000, which Naall quickly called.
When they got to the 5♦ river, Grasso slid a stack of white chips, worth 25,000 each, into the middle, and Naall immediately called off his remaining 205,000 chips.
Grasso then flipped a flush with 10♠6♠, but Naall had the winner with A♠5♠ for the nut flush.
