Sickels Makes the Nuts, Schuchard Gets Away
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
After two limps in front of him, Michael Stuker raised to 16,000 on the button and was called by Lance Schuchard in the small blind, Andrew Asher in the hijack, and Kevin Sickels in the cutoff.
The flop came 7♥6♠3♥ and Sickels bet 20,000. Stuker then moved all in for 65,000, and both Schuchard and Sickels called.
The turn was the 8♥ and Schuchard led out for 75,000. Sickels then moved all in for 319,000, and Schuchard tanked for a few minutes before folding Q♥J♥.
His suspicions proved correct, as Sickels turned over A♥2♥ for the nut flush. Stuker didn't even bother turning over his cards before leaving the table, and the dealer eventually retrieved his K♣K♠ before revealing the 2♣ river as Sickels raked in the massive pot.
