Polania Turns a Flush to Double
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
With around 12,000 in the pot on a board of 2♣8♣2♥K♣, Chuck Polania bet 8,000 from the cutoff before an opponent raised to 20,000 in middle position. Polania then moved all in for 21,600, and his opponent called.
The middle-position player showed A♥8♥ for two pair, but Polania had turned a flush with A♣7♣. The river was the K♦, and Polania doubled up.
"You created that flush on the turn. This is jealousy talking," another tablemate joked with Polania.
