Estrada Spikes a Flush to Survive
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With around 45,000 in the middle on a flop of Q♣K♣4♣. Soraya Estrada checked from the big blind, and a player in middle position fired out a bet of 8,000. Estrada check-shoved for 42,000, sending her opponent into the tank. After around a minute, the middle position called to put Estrada at risk.
Soraya Estrada: A♣3♥ 
Middle Position: Q♠J♥
Estrada needed to find a club or an ace to double-up. The 10♦ turn gave Estrada a straight draw, but it was the 3♣ that landed on the river to improve her to the nut flush, earning her the double-up.
