Valentin Messina Flushes to Stay Alive
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Up at the feature table, Smit Trivedi raised to 13,000 and Barry Greenstein called from the cutoff. Valentin Messina then three-bet all in for 65,000 from the button, both blinds folded, and Trivedi moved all in over the top, which inspired Greenstein to get out of the way.
Trivedi: 
Messina: 
It was a flip, and Messina picked up more outs on the 
flop. The 
turn gave Messina the ace-high flush, and that meant Trivedi needed the 
on the river to stay alive. It didn't happen though as the 
appeared instead.
