Townsend Backs into the Nuts
Level 2
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Mark Harrison opened the action with a raise to 300 from under the gun with Lawrence Townsend calling from the next seat. Mark Harrison three-bet to 800 from the cutoff which got a fold from Harrison, but a call from Townsend.
Townsend check-called a bet of 600 from Mate on the K♦8♥10♣ flop.
The two players both checked the 5♣ turn to see the 8♣ land on the river. Townsend put out a bet of 2,100 and Mate quickly called. Townsend flipped over A♣9♣ for the nut flush and took down the pot.
