Ham Rivers a Flush and Gets Paid
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Benjamin Ham raised to 1,500 from early position with Sardor Shagulyamov calling from the cutoff, and Anton Danilov calling on the button.
Ham chose to check the K♦J♦5♥ flop and Shagulyamov bet 2,200. Danilov and Ham called.
The action checked to Shagulyamov again on the 6♠ turn and he put out another bet, this time for 7,000. Danilov tossed his cards into the muck, but Ham slid in the call.
The flush completing 3♦ fell on the river and Ham decided to lead out for 14,600. Shagulyamov didn't like it, and after thinking for some time, he carved out the call.
Ham tabled the nuts with A♦9♦, and Shagulyamov could only muck his cards.
