Gruneberg Busts With Nut Flush

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 250 ante

Six players saw the {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop in a limped pot but that field was thinned to two after Zach "KennytheRipper" Gruneberg bet 6,775. Only "M45scdoo" made the call which brought in the {9-Clubs} turn to which action checked through to the {9-Hearts} river.

"M45scdoo" led out for 7,000 and Gruneberg shipped it for 92,600. He was immediately called and probably could not believe what he saw as his opponent turned over {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the straight flush, thwarting his {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

"hockster27" flopped top pair top kicker with ace-queen offsuit but was trumped by the rivered full house of his opponent who held a black pair of nines.
