Fan Backdoors His Way into a Flush
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Brian Walters raised to 2,500 under the gun, Sonny Lee flatted in the hijack, and Changfeng Fan defended in the big blind.
The flop came J♣9♥7♦ and it checked to Walters who bet 4,500. Both of his opponents called.
On the 3♦ turn, it checked to Walters again and he bet 8,500. Lee folded and Fan stuck around.
The river landed the 6♦, completing the backdoor flush draw. Fan checked and Walters elected to check back.
"Flush," said Fan as he turned over 8♦5♦ to take down the pot.
