Ma Four-Flushes for a Healthy Pot
Level 12
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Xiao Zhu raised to 20,000 in early position and Pan Wang three-bet to 55,000 in the hijack. Haohui Ma stuck in a four-bet to 135,000 on the button and Zhu five-bet shoved all in for 408,000. Wang stepped aside and Ma asked for a count before making the call.
Xiao Zhu: A♦K♥
Haohui Ma: A♣K♠
It was looking like a chopped pot between the two ace-king hands but the flop of 7♠5♥4♠ gave Ma the lone freeroll. The 2♠ landed on the turn and Ma picked up a flush draw which got a rise from the table.
"Spade!" Ma shouted as the J♠ hit the river and Zhu was left devastated as he exited the tournament area.
