Rosario Makes a Straight Flush But Denied the High Hand
Players are given the option to pay an additional $10 when registered to sign up for a high hand promotion that pays the player who makes the best hand over the course of the day. Norbert Rosario seemed like he was a lock to secure the payout after taking out Jake Croghan.
In a battle of the blinds, Croghan got in his last 20,000 as Rosario put him at risk.
Jake Croghan: 5♣5♠ 
Norbert Rosario: 9♣8♣
The flop came 10♣10♦7♣ to give Rosario straight and flush draws, while the 6♣ turn improved him to a straight flush. The river was the 10♠ and Croghan was sent to the rail.
The table began calling over tournament officials to confirm Rosario's candidacy for the high-hand, but he was informed there was already a ten-high straight flush made today, but in hearts that beat Rosario's clubs.
