Smolka Hits a Straight Flush
Level 6
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
After two checks on the 10♣J♦7♣ flop, the button player jammed for about 35,000, which was just over the size of the pot. The big blind folded, but Dawid Smolka immediately called.
Button: Q♥Q♦ 
Dawid Smolka: 9♣8♣
Smolka had flopped the nuts with a redraw to a straight flush. The K♦ turn gave the button a straight draw, but the J♣ river improved Smolka to a straight flush, and the pot was sent to him.
