Yifrach Hits a Straight Flush to Double
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Thomas Boivin raised to 375,000 on the button and Gal Yifrach called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 10♣8♥7♥ flop. Boivin then bet 450,000 on the K♥ turn, and Yifrach raised to 2,000,000. Boivin moved all in, and Yifrach called for his last 3,450,000.
Boivin showed 10♥7♠ for two pair, but Yifrach had turned a flush with 5♥4♥. Boivin needed to improve to a full house or hit another heart to make a better flush on the river to win the title.
The 6♥ river was a heart, but the same card gave Yifrach a straight flush to secure the double up. "That's a good heart," Yifrach said while collecting the pot.
