We found three players' hands turned over before the flop at one of the tables. The shortest stack had about 10,000 and was holding ![]()
, while Brandon Nemeth had ![]()
and about 5,000 more. A third player had put both at risk with ![]()
.
The dealer spread a ![]()
![]()
flop, giving Nemeth life with a flush draw.
"Heart," he said. "Heart."
An
improved the position of the short stack slightly, but a
river gave Nemeth the flush he needed to survive.

Steven Baker put his last 14,000 in from the small blind after a ![]()
![]()
flop in a multi-way pot. One player called, another folded, and a third tanked a bit before folding the
face up.
"That any good?" he said.
"I hope so, because that's all I've got," Baker said, tabling ![]()
.
He was in luck, as his opponent turned over a flush draw: ![]()
. A
turn gave the player an open-ended straight as well, but the
mercifully paired the board for Baker.
