Joseph's Single-Color Dream Hand

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Joseph Elia

Joseph Elia just jumped into the chip lead getting the best of it in a three-way limped pot pre-flop to bust two players.

After the {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop the action really took off as the big blind made it 2,000, Elia bumped it to 5,000 and the third player in the hand, Rob Davis, made it 8,000.

That's when the big blind shoved, Elia called and so did Davis. It was {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} for the big blind, {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for Davis and Elia holding {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and the second-nut flush.

Needing to fade another club, and in particular the {9-Clubs}, he managed to get it done and had both opponent's covered.
