Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Andrew Smith raised to 1,000 under the gun and was called by Rahul [Removed:550] in the cutoff.

The flop came 10♠8♣6♦, Smith continued for 1,200, and [Removed:550] called, bringing the 5♠ turn.

Smith check-called a bet of 3,400 from [Removed:550], and the 8♠ rolled off on the river, where both players checked.

Smith tabled A♠Q♠ for the nut-flush, besting the A♦Q♥ of [Removed:550].
