Crane Hits the Backdoor Nut Flush
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 0 ante
Chance Howell raised to 800 in the cutoff, Ron Crane flatted in the small blind, and the player in the big blind came along for the ride.
The flop of 7♣8♦5♥ checked through to the K♥ turn. Crane and the big blind checked and Howell put out a bet of 1,600. Only Crane continued.
The river brought the 8♥, completing thr backdoor flush draw and Crane led out for 2,200. Howell thought for a moment before flicking in the call only to see the bad news when Crane tabled A♥10♥ for the nut flush.
"Nice hand," said Howell as he flashed the K♦ before tossing his cards into the muck.
