Two Nut Flush Draws Collide

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Paul Hendee raised to 1,800 from under the gun, and was called by the button, as well as Jesse Murrell in the big blind.

Murrell checked the {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop to Hendee, who bet 5,200. The button called and Murrell folded.

Murrell announced, "All in!" and slammed a stack of 5k chips in the pot once the {3-Spades} hit the turn, putting the button at risk for his last 27,500. The button tanked for a few minutes, then flicked a chip in the pot to call.

Opponent: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Paul Hendee: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}

Hendee's nut spade draw and pair of sixes was ahead at the moment, but his opponent held the nut heart draw and could also hit a nine to steal the big pot away from "OTWPaul". The {4-Diamonds} bricked off on the river, and Hendee said, "Good game...definitely the chip leader now!" before raking in the pot.
