Van Huyssteen and October Bow Out in Cruel Fashion
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Stefan Van Huyssteen and Caleb October were all-in and at risk against Ryan Brauer, who needed some run-good to knock out two opponents.
Caleb October: A♣2♣
Stefan Van Huyssteen: Q♣Q♥
Ryan Brauer: 2♦2♥
The K♦Q♦5♣ flop gave Van Huyssteen a set of queens and Brauer needed running diamonds to get there, while October had some options with running clubs or a possible straight. The 8♦ turn and 4♦ river indeed provided the improbable four-card flush for Brauer to reduce the field further in cruel fashion.
