Ahmad Backs into a Flush to Virtually Triple Up
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Fahredin Mustafov raised to 50,000 from the button before being immediately three-bet to 175,000 by Hao Tian out of the small blind. Moussa Ahmad committed his last 60,000 from the big blind, and Mustafov folded.
Moussa Ahmad: 8♣3♣ 
Hao Tian: A♣9♦
Ahmad fell further behind on the 6♦9♣4♦ flop as Tian hit top pair, but he picked up a flush and straight draw when the 7♣ landed on the turn. The 4♣ on the river completed his flush, and he tripled up.
