Straight Flush Takes the Cake
Level 22
: 4,000/8,000, 800 ante
The former Irish Open-winner Ian Simpson put out a bet of 77,000 from the big blind on a board reading 
. Vahid Ahirzamari in the very next seat made the call, as did Raphael Ajayi in the small blind. The river came 
, and when Ajayi checked his option, Simpson cut out 205,000 chips and slid them over the line. Amirzahari thought about it for a minute or so before announcing all-in for 606,400 total, Ajayi got out of the way and Simpson made the call.
Simpson revealed 
for the nut flush, but that was peanuts compared to the 
of Amirzahari that completed a straight flush on the river.
